“For without me ye can do nothing.” That is, separate from me—the expression implies dependence. John Newton writes, “We are never safer, never have more reason to expect the Lord’s help, than when we are most sensible that we can do nothing without Him.”
King David, on four different occasions in Psalms said, “I am poor and needy.” The king, before the King of Kings, saw himself a pauper. Such a poverty of spirit will never be denied before the throne of grace. It is when strong Paul acknowledged his weakness and insufficiency before God that he found the Lord’s all-sufficient strength.
When a Christian lives his life independent of God, he loses his fellowship with God.
