We Are Dependent On God Psalm 91 Every Christian should be aware of how dependent we are on God. We mention it in our prayers and we sing it in our hymns, and we preach about it. Some people might be a little suspicious of the psalmist who wrote in the Ninety-first Psalm: " I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: may God; in Him will I trust." There are those who believe we must do something about our situations on our own, and maybe we are too dependent upon God. For instance, as a student, getting ready to take a final test the next morning, and yet, has not opened the text book all year. If that student is totally depending on God, then he is in for a surprise. Or if you are driving your car 80 to 100 miles per hour, and suddenly, a man is crossing the road in front of you, and you cannot avoid him, then, you cannot expect God to perform a miracle and have your car spout wings and fly over the man. But, if after you do everything you can in a situation, you depend on God. You cannot depend upon Him too much, because everything you are and everything you have or can ever hope to be come ultimately from God. Everything we are -- our life, our thoughts, and our energies are completely given to us by God. And whether we like to admit it or not, everyone is utterly dependent upon God.
