It’s interesting how when life is going well, humanly speaking, I can have a tendency to lean less on God and live more into my circumstances. What I have found is that this can work for a while but eventually, I feel the impact of that lack. As I evaluate my life at those moments, I see that life “without” God, can feel meaningless even in the midst of beauty and love.
As I was pondering this thought a verse came to mind:
“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.” (Proverbs 3:5)
Thank you, Lord, for reminding me that the fullness of life comes from leaning into you. I need you just as much in the wonderful moments of life as I do in the challenges.
Leaning in,
