Under what power do you live your life and labor every day? If you’re trying to manage, accomplish, and achieve on your own strength, you’re probably experiencing failure and discouragement. Many things in life are challenging, but if we’re struggling and fretting, it’s usually a sign we’re operating out of our human resources—and those will inevitably fall short.

God’s resources, however, are infinite, and they’re available through your relationship with Him. In this message, Dr. Charles Stanley explores the nature of our connection to God and its importance for everything we do. When we operate out of a heavenly relationship, we delight in God, commit to Him, and find His rest.

The vitality of your life as a believer depends on your ability to abide in Christ, not to manipulate situations on your own. Reexamine how you’ve been living and find out all that God can do, and wants to do, by deepening the relationship you share with Him.
