Thoughts for Today

Leaning does not come easily to most of us. Today's culture lifts up personal independence as such a virtue that we have developed an "I can do it myself" mentality. We often see leaning as a sign of weakness.

I can deal with this situation myself-I don't need anyone's help. ... I don't have to visit those porno websites-I can stop whenever I want to. ... I don't need any help with my son; he will straighten up. ... I don't want your charity-I am getting along just fine.


Consider this ...


It is OK to lean-in fact, according to the Bible if we are wise we will recognize our need for God's help. And sometimes he sends that help through other people.

Are you dealing with a challenge, a problem, that is causing you frustration and stress? It's a sign of wisdom-not weakness-to ask God for help.
