2 Chronicles 12:1-13:22; Ezekiel 35:1-36:15; John 13:31-4:14
Saul arose from the earth…they led him by the hand. Acts 9:8
Saul had his own ideas as he started toward Damascus; however, God had other plans for this persecutor of the new Christians. The confident Saul suddenly had to lean on others to lead him along in his blindness. Are we, like Saul, wanting to be independent? God is looking for those who will depend on Him. Proverbs 3:5 reminds us: “Trust in the Lord…and lean not unto thine own understanding.” Do we make decisions on our own or are we willing to allow God
to “take us by His hand” and lead us in His perfect will for our lives? As we learn to lean on Him, He will guide us. —V. Strout
He helps me with each task, if only I’ll ask;
Every day now I’m learning to lean. —John Stallings
Leaning Leaning Leaning on the everlasting arms. What a wonderful thought.
