Learning To Lean

At the height of David's success, he became a man hunted by his enemies, haunted by death, and hounded by destruction. Every dream, every lofty goal, every hope had been dashed to bits. He had nothing and no one on whom he could lean. He is alone, afraid, and alienated.

Why did God so afflict a "man after His Own heart"? Because He wanted David to learn to lean on Him and not on the props he had constructed in his life. 

Psalm 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

The all-sufficient God Almighty wants us to learn to lean on Him. He will never fail us, leave us or let us down.

Learning to lean, learning to lean,

I'm learning to lean on Jesus.

Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.

I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
