Lean on me!!

Ok so today is Friday....uh, yeah no excuse there. All I can say is sorry!! and hope that you'll all share some grace with me >_<. And speaking of late posts, Anna and I have decided to post on different days; from now on, Anna will post on Mondays and I will post on Thursdays. Any questions? No? Good. Moving on then. Well today has been a really busy day for me; Fridays at my house are always cleaning days; vacuuming, scouring, dusting, etc, etc. And as I was vacuuming today, God just reminded me that I need to lean on Him. So many times I find myself leaning on my own strength to get the job done; but that's not what God wants, and that's not what's best for me. After a long day of leaning on myself I find that I'm tired, drained, and unhappy. The Bible says:

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

2 Samuel 22:33

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.

Exodus 15:2

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

1 Chronicles 16:11

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.

Normally when I realize that I've been leaning on my own strength, I stop and tell God that I need His help and His strength. I say, "God, from here on out, it's up to you; this situation is yours to take care of; I'm leaning on you." And you know, it really works!! I find that I have more energy, and I don't end up fatigued and unhappy! So this week, if you find yourself leaning on your own strength, stop and give the situation to God!

That's all for now!! Hopefully next week I'll be on time!!
