LEAN INTO JESUS!

So you see, I could have said, Lean on the Lord God.  Can I lean on you Jesus?  It felt more intimate to say to him last Tuesday - "Jesus, may I lean into you today?"  And, as I have mentioned before, it would seem and is true, He knows our everyday and He know what we're going to say, think, and do.

I am always amazed at how then my devotionals will accompany that very first thought and feel for the day.  All the scriptures, and comments were directed at lean on Jesus.  Proverbs 3:5.
Lean not on your own understand, and acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will make your days straight.    It freaked me out a little about all that connectedness.  So I packed up Jax and we went to Pokagon for awhile.

That Proverbs 3 is something to concentrate on.  Isaiah 30:15 talks about how . . .In returning (to Me) and resting (in Me) you shall be saved;  in quietness and in (trusting) confidence shall be your strength.

Then today I got caught up in reading about how we could sit quietly and think about a pool of water, or actually go look at one.  Even a glass full of water.  Then hold another glass in your hand, and with the other an eye dropper - drop into that water.  See how it just absorbs into the water.  That is like leaning into Jesus.  Melting into Him for the day.  Not breathing without Him, not busy without Him, not playing without Him present, not sleeping without Him in your dreams.  I love that metaphor.
Not that I can't think for myself, and make decisions, but I sure want to do everything in His name.
Listening to the birds call for each other, think about how His love calls to us. 

Are you listening today, are you taking in His creation?  Or are you doing it all yourself, because someone has to do it?

Read Psalm 37.  All of it.  Commitment to taking in the concept that He is in every detail and facet of your life - means TRUST.  Not leaning on your own understand, but trusting, committing everything to Him.

BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

Of course, I pray you all have a wonderful weekend.  Its been beautiful.  The weather is a gift from God!

Thank Him.
