RE: STEEMCHURCH:THE POWER OF BEING RELIABLE
In these times we need to depend on God for everything because the days are evil. We need to depend on Him for our family, work, ministry, and every other area of our lives. To be dependable means to be capable of being depended on; it means to be worthy of trust; or reliable. Dependable also means trustworthy, reliable, tried and true, safe, secure, or good. Our God is dependable; you can trust him and you can rely on Him for everything. He is Jehovah Shammah because He is present everywhere; we can look up to God because He is the Divine Helper, Creator, Providence, Security, Safety, Protective Provision , and Divine Constancy. We can trust Him with all our heart (Prov. 3: 5) because He has promised He will never leave nor forsake us (Heb. 13: 5). God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him we were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Things might not look the way they ought to be in our life, but if we remain dependent on Him, He will help us out. In Gen. 21:1 – 2, the Bible says that “And Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken, for Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” It does not matter how things may look around us, our God will bring to pass all that He has promised us. Isaiah 55:11 says His words will not return to Him void. Paul and Silas depended on God and He never failed them. How about Job, he lost everything, he still depended on God and He was restored. Hannah depended on God and she received the miracle of a son. THINGS CHANGE but GOD DOES NOT CHANGE. Heb. 13:8 says "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Because of this, we can depend and trust on His promises in the scriptures. Requirement for Depending on God: One major requirement for depending on God is patience. The Bible says in Heb. 6:12 that we should not be slothful but be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
