Inherent spiritual poverty

Inherent spiritual poverty...something I heard in my daily devotional this morning. I just can't seem to get it out of my head...a total and utter dependence on Him. It is definitely a challenge to remember that we are incomplete...poor in spirit without Him. We are this way in order to truly put our trust in Him, completely and with nothing else in His way. These days have truly been a challenge in knowing that my resources, talent, wisdom and abilities should never substitute my trust in the Lord. It was nice to take some time out in the morning to be alone in the quiet. I need to definitely get more time in to spend in the solitude of prayer. I always have quiet times in the morning, but there was definitely something special about this one, outside the house...in his creation. May God give me the strength to lead our family to Him, it can be such a struggle with finances, time, and everything life is filled with. It is all a great blessing and experience...thank you Lord again for bringing us to your place in your time.
