Lean

Are you feeling this?

I am. Deeply. This resonates to the core of my being. I am literally vibrating with this.

Think about it - "...every ounce of trust in Him."

Naturally it brings to mind this classic Bible verse:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” proverbs 3:5

In this the writer (Proverbs is attributed to many writers; it is thought that the first 9 books are from King Solomon himself, King David's son) is telling us not to rely on our strength and knowledge, but to trust in the Lord. To let go of trusting earthly wealth, wisdom, and experience.

Once again, as humans this may be the toughest challenge in all the Bible. Which is the entire point of this Proverbs verse - indeed in our prayers themselves.

We come to this space & time constantly - pray to God, give over our worries and burdens to him, and trust that he has us. 

Then what happens - do we trust him?

Somewhere deep within us we know we can trust in God. Putting that trust into practice is something else again. Our egos will question it with every word.

Yet, at least for me, I do feel called right now to do exactly as King Solomon instructed - trust in God, lean on Him. And him alone.

God is always with us. I am leaning in - and feeling that deep, compassionate, loving presence all around me.

Lean into God. You'll feel him right there beside you.
