Learning To Lean on God

Learning To Lean on God

The truth is all other foundations of your life are too weak to survive your dependance! Only God is strong enough and humble enough to lean on!

Jesus warned His disciples that there would be “wars and rumors of wars” in human history, and the temptation would be for humans to abandon hope and be crushed by despair.

If Jesus said that 20 centuries ago, why are we surprised to see the histrionics of today’s society, which has put its trust in its intellects and the accumulation of political power?

We are always an inattentive moment away from abandoning wisdom and trust in God for the slippery slope of pride and unwarranted self-confidence.

It’s happened before.

It’s happening now.

And it will happen in the future until the Kingdom comes!

Look at our lesson in Isaiah 10:12-20
