One day David was on top of the world, the next day he was being hunted by his enemies and fleeing for his life. He had no one to lean on.
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.
It's okay to have a support system, but we also need to learn to lean on Jesus. He may dismantle our support, one prop at a time, to grow us and teach us that He is all we need.
Sad, broken-hearted at an altar I knelt, I found a peace so serene
All that He asked was a Child-like trust and a heart that is learning to lean
Learning to lean, learning to lean, learning to lean on Jesus
Finding more power than I'd ever dreamedI'm learning to lean on Jesus
