Good
Morning!
OOPS!
I need to apologize....I told you all yesterday that I was going to share some
"scriptures" about leaning on Jesus. Well, then I got so
caught up in "singing" and "leaning", that I forgot to
give them to you..sorry about that!
So,
today, I will load you up with "homework"! I am taking all of
these scriptures from the Amplified Bible. If you don't have one, I encourage
you to get one. It does not change the "context" of what is
said in the King James version...all it does, is just "amplify" the
meaning of the "words" written!~~~~
Proverbs
3:5 tells us to trust in God (lean on Him), and it also tells us not to
lean on our "own understanding".
Psalms
112:7 tells us that if we will trust in God (lean upon Him), our hearts will
be firmly fixed and we will not be afraid of "bad news" (or
"bad reports").
All
of the following scriptures talk about "leaning on God with your entire
human personality".....I love that! This means that we can just
"be ourselves" with God. You might as well get
"real" with Him...He knows you! Don't get
"religious" with God! Here are those scriptures~~~~~~~~~
Colossians 1:4
1Thessalonians 1:8 1Thessalonians 3:7
2Thessalonians 1:11
2Timothy 1:5
Hebrews 10:22 Hebrews 13:7
I encourage you to read these scriptures,
and if you do not have an Amplified Bible, then whenever you see the word
"faith" or "trust".... just think about it as
saying, "leaning on God with your whole personality in complete
trust and confidence in His power, His wisdom and His
goodness"! Wow! I don't know about you, but this
gives me the desire to be "willing and obedient" to LEAN ON
JESUS, no matter what my circumstances or situations are! If I am
"leaning" on Him, that means that I am "trusting" Him
to take care of me and my situations. In Hebrews 13:5, Jesus
said...."I will never forsake you or let you down"!
It "pleases" God when we
"lean on Him"....and Proverbs 16:7 says "When a man's ways please
The Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him". That
ought to motivate you to "please the Lord"! AMEN?
Have
a Blessed Day!! (Keep "leaning on
Jesus"!)
In His Love, Luanne
