KEEP LEANING

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

Evangelist John Stallings wrote the beautiful and inspiring hymn “Learning To Lean”.  It is one of my favorite hymns.  I love these words.  “I'm learning to lean, learning to lean, Learning to lean on Jesus; Finding more power than I'd ever dreamed; I'm learning to lean on Jesus.”  We need to keep leaning on Him.

A mother and dad were teaching their young boy how to walk.  They told the little child not to let go of their hands or he would fall.  The little boy got excited and he let go of their hands and he fell and started crying.  His parents picked him up, kissed him and said “It’s okay.  We’ll be here to pick you up when you fall.”

Just as the parents were there to pick their little boy up, Jesus picks us up when we stumble and fall.  Jesus has told us that we can’t do anything without Him.  “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John:15:5).

Are you leaning on Jesus?  If not, start leaning on Him.  Not only will you be able to do the things you want to do, you will also make Jesus happy.  Making Jesus happy should be the goal of every Christian.  If ever someone deserves to be happy, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world!  All hail, King Jesus!
