DEPENDENCE

   Christ in this passage of scripture begins to set forth the principle of our dependence upon God for everything in life, both large and small! In order to establish our dependence upon God Christ first reveals God's dependability and His power to sustain the helpless. ((Luke 12:24 KJV) Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?). Then in the very next verse Jesus establishes the helplessness of our independence ((Luke 12:25 KJV) And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?). Then notice the question that Jesus ask ((Luke 12:26 KJV) If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?). Christ here has established God's ability and our inability and set the precedence for us to enter into the place of total dependence upon the provision of the Lord. Hear the words of Christ as he set the whole of our dependence in perspective with a question. (If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?). Lord help us learn this lesson of dependence upon you!
