Psalms 30:6 NIV
[6] When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
When we feel secure we often feel like we will never be shaken, like God has blessed us so much we are self reliant now. Then the fall happens. We hit something that scares us or hurts us and suddenly our confidence dies.
Having our confidence in ourselves wax and wane is not abnormal because it depends on our feelings, but our confidence in God? That’s another story. He never fails us. He always has a plan and purpose. This chapter continues on to say how when God hid His face the Psalmist felt dismayed.
When we seek God and are for Him His favor rests upon us, but the moment we begin to feel like we can do it all on our own we are about to stumble. God wants to care for us, but He does not want us being prideful and ignoring Him.

Take away:

God will always love us and be there for us, but we need to remember to be on His team and not walk off on our own. Keep a heart posture of humility, for God will lift up those who are low in spirit. I don’t mean walk around with a mini you cloud over your head, but remember who got you where you are and give Him the glory, not yourself.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
