Luke 1:45, AMP: “And blessed (happy, to be envied) is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of the things that were spoken to her from the Lord.”

I remember when that whole “Independent Woman” phase broke out. I was in college at UCF. Destiny’s Child was encouraging all the independent women to “throw their hands up”. My guess is in celebration and declaration of their ability to not need a man to do anything for them.

But I do need a man to do something for me. I need my Father, the Lord my God to speak to me so that I can believe that there WILL be fulfillment of what He said He would do. I can’t live my life independent of His guidance, His voice or His love. I’ve tried. It didn’t end well. And the amazing thing is that now that I’m committed to Him (no matter how far left or right I get off track) I can’t proclaim independence of anyone. He puts people in my path to love me, annoy me, provoke me, teach me and correct me. I can’t close myself off from other people and be totally open to God. Likewise, I can’t decide I don’t like a new man I meet (before I get to know him) then wonder why I’m “still single”. My singles, it doesn’t work that way!

The more I depend on God, the more I find freedom. I believe (and ONLY BELIEVE) that He will fulfill those things He said concerning me!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
