Learning To Lean

It is easy to flow with the crowd, but Christians who have definite convictions often stand alone. The battle-scared apostle Paul said, "No man stood with me, but all men forsook me." (2 Timothy 4:16)

For those who suffer for the gospel, there is a blessed promise. It was given to Paul, and it is for us.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness . . . 

When people or circumstances disappoint us, we learn to lean upon Jesus and are more aware of His love and grace. Our Lord never fails His children.

Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
