I have been presented with many challenges over the past few months and find myself wondering why? I guess we all question did I do something wrong, why me Lord, when will this pass, will I ever get it right? It seems the path that I had planned and the course that I chartered is not moving along at the pace and direction that I had hoped. Ever step I take seems to lead directly into a wall. I feel that I am being tested and tried in so many areas; areas that I thought I had mastered or at least overcame. Funny how that happens, huh?
Trust seems to be a common theme to these issues. Trusting that I am doing the right thing, Trusting that God is in control, Trusting that He will never leave me nor forsake me, Trusting that he does make our crooked roads straight.
Luke 3:5
Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.
I am not sure how this is all going to work out and I don't know what God's plan is but I am reminded of an old hymn that we sang in church growing up.
Learning to Lean
Learning to lean,
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
(repeat)
Sad broken hearted, at an alter I knelt
I found peace that was so serene
And all that He asks is a child like trust
And a heart that is learning to lean
Learning to lean
Learning to lean,
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
(repeat)
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
I pray that this is the song I can sing with all my heart as I walk the path before me.
