Learning to Lean

Today, my thoughts are with Raine@Simply Getting By. Her father is battling with a malignant tumor at a time when she is pregnant. She needs our prayers for strength to deal with this family crisis. I guess it is one of those illnesses that sort of unnerves us... makes us realize how fragile we really are. Please help me pray for Raine and her family.

These are truly the days of our lives. We awaken to face:

1. Bad News
2. Pain
3. Anxiety
4. Fear
5. Weakness
6. Heavy Burdens
7. Hopelessness

Then when we think we are crushed beyond measure Jehovah Jireh provides for us so much more. He gives us:

1. Good News and takes our Bad News
2. Relief and takes our pain
3. Confidence and takes our anxiety
4. Boldness and takes our fear
5. Strength and takes our weakness
6. Light Hearts and takes our heavy burdens
7. Bright Hope for the future and takes our hopelessness.

But have we learned to lean? Or do we prefer to stand on our own two feet? Daily it is my desire to lean. I want to stop and smell the sweet fragrance of the roses. I want to lean on Him who alone is strong. For Raine and those of us who are troubled about many things, let us learn to lean on El Roi- The God Who Sees us in our several situations and will undoubtedly meet us where we are. Indeed He is able to give us so much more if we only lean on Him in childlike confidence.


Love you all.
