(Side note: I had the privilege of seeing Dem Franchise Boys in real life. They came to our high school and had a concert in our cafeteria, yep...in our cafeteria. High schoolers were crowded around them in a circle, doing their thing, leanin' and rockin' in their white tees. I just stood in the back watching)
Okay, on the real. I was just reading along this morning and the commonly heard verse, Proverbs 3:5-6, reminded me of this song. Why, you might ask? Probably because it has the word "lean" in it. Kinda funny to me, maybe not to you...that's okay. I'll think it's funny, you can choose otherwise.
So here she is. Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Before I read God's word I try to remember to pray before. To pray new meaning would come to words I've read hundreds of times, that I would learn something I didn't know yesterday. Well, God is good, He is a Provider of wisdom, and He is faithful. Today I gained a better understanding and refreshment of the word "lean." I feel like it's a commonly used word and for me, I have not put much thought into it's true meaning. Ole Mister Webster explains the word "lean" as meaning this: "to rest against or on something for support; to depend or rely."
"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and LEAN NOT on your own understanding..." This morning the Lord helped me realize how I am to rest against, depend, and rely on NONE of my own understanding, none of the world's understanding, etc...I am to lean on HIS understanding. I am to learn from His Word, to listen to His sweet voice, and to act.
Lord help me to lean on Your understanding, that I would come to You hungry for more of your direction and guidance. Lord make it known to me when I am going on my own wayward path. Lord thank you for ordaining my steps, I pray I would walk it out as you wish.
Also, Father - thank you for snow day numero dos :)
