LEANING

Standing tall in adversity is an admirable quality. And some view inner strength to never have to depend upon another as important.

However in reality can we go through life without even having needs that require some assistance? Not saying one should be dependent, just more realistic.

Which will always be revise in some people's eyes. They will always see themselves as totally independent.

It is so hard for some to admit when they need help. Or even that they have some weakness.

And with the Lord as part of the process of faith there are times He will put us in the position where we must lean on Him for help. That can be very hard to do.

I have seen those that can't bring themselves to do that. Oh to them they are pillar of faith.

They can quote scripture, but honestly never actually trust God for anything. If they face a problem, they never mention a single promise of God to deal with the problem.

But they still believe they have faith. Why? I guess in reality they see believe as the same thing.

And as long as they don't have to actually risk anything they are fine. Providing they never have to sacrifice.

Oh give up control or be the least bit other than in charge they will be fine. Not in terms of how God views them, just in their view.

Some go through their whole live in such views. They got to church and feel they are true hardworking and obedient servants of the Lord.

They just never did what God asked in terms of trusting Him, by leaning on His word for some situation. They resisted.

God did not punish them. He didn't strike them dead. He just let them continue in their delusion.

And will right up to the point the die if needed. For if one never reaches past a given barrier they will never face the next challenge.

Oh they may keep on going thinking everything is fine. And will live their whole life in such delusion.

Finding out too late it was not the truth like so many such myths.
