As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”—Romans 9:33 (NIV)

Your expectations hold great power. Often, we tend to focus on what we believe God should be doing in a given situation rather than accepting and understanding what He is actually doing. Seeking God through our own efforts can lead to defeat and failure, but placing our faith in Christ’s dependence can bring us righteousness and salvation.

Heavenly Father, I surrender myself into Your hands. Through faith and humble dependence upon You, I will not slip and fall.
