Have we not leaned upon a thousand things?
Posted : 27 Feb, 2014 02:19 AM

"Behold, you trust on the staff of this bruised reed, even on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it." Isaiah 36:6



Have we not leaned upon a thousand things? And what have they proved? Broken reeds that have run into our hands, and pierced us. Our own strength and resolutions�the world and the church�sinners and saints�friends and enemies�have they not all proved, more or less, broken reeds? The more we have leaned upon them, like a man leaning upon a sword, the more have they pierced our souls. The Lord Himself has to wean us�from the world�from friends�from enemies�from self�in order to bring us to lean upon Himself�and every prop He will remove, sooner or later, that we may lean wholly and solely upon His Person, love, blood, and righteousness.

Thank you Donna.

I have read today the Bible and want to share it with you:



Nehemiah 9

The People Confess Their Sins....



God acts today in our lives the same way as He described it here...I saw it in my life...After my repentance, IMMEDIATELY God saved my life from death...
