July 17 - Leaning To Confidence.

7/17/2016

0 Comments

 
Micah 3:11
“…yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.”
 
When an injured or disabled person uses a cane or crutch to help them walk they must lean on the object for assistance and stability. They have confidence that the cane will bear their weight and balance them so that they can take the next step.
 
The Lord should in no way be viewed as a cane or crutch, but there is a principle here that we can learn from and apply to our daily walk with Him. We in our own ability can do nothing without Christ. He tells us this Himself in John 15, “for without me ye can do nothing.” How true that is! Have you ever had to be reminded that you are nothing without Him? When our pride gets in the way, He has a way of reminding us of this Truth while still supporting and guiding us at the same time as we lean on and acknowledge Him.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
 
Thankfully, we can also be reminded by the confidence Paul had when he pinned, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” We are nothing without Christ, but through Him and His strength we can accomplish all things in His will.
 
We have the Lord on our side! Why should we be afraid of anything?
Psalm 118:6
“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
 
Hebrews 13:6
“So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
 
Remind yourself today of the confidence we can have if we will lean on the Lord. He is on our side. He is our helper. Seek Him for guidance and direction on how to address the situation you are facing. He will calm your fears.
 
Psalm 34:4
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
 
When we lean on Him our fears will subside and be replaced by a confidence that only comes from knowing He is on our side.
 
Hebrews 10:35
“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”
 
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.
