Proverbs 11:2
King James Version
2 When pride cometh,
then cometh shame:
but with the lowly is wisdom.
How do you know you need God?
As born again, I'd ask:
"When did we not ever?"
But, if you're not born again, stubborn, vacillating, indifferent, unsure, still on a high, well, let SPIRIT and I count the ways.
We definitely need God when:
We're sad.
We're lonely.
We're lost.
We're confused.
We're stumped.
We're dumbfounded.
We're confounded.
We've been humbled.
We feel defeated.
We're tired.
We're broke.
We've been humiliated.
We've humiliated.
We're angry.
We're depressed.
We're vengeful.
We're proud.
We feel invincible.
We feel superior.
We've got everything. (Or so we think.)
That pretty much sums up the moments we need God.
Being the way we are, we forget God when we're on a high.
When we're feeling low, we begin to remember God.
Such is man's nature.
And yet, we have the nerve to wonder:
Is there a God?
Is He listening?
Is He paying attention?
Why does He allow stuff to happen?
Where is He?
Those are legit questions.
But only a genuine born again, one who LOVES God, who LOVES Scripture, who LOVES doing God's will, who LOVES being obedient, who LOVES being corrected by the Lord, who LOVES being taught by Spirit, who LOVES waiting for the LORD's return any moment now, can understand the ways of the LORD.
Whether we know it or not, whether we admit it or not, without JESUS, we can do nothing.
And that's a fact.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
