lean on Him... Psalm 37:5...

Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him, and he will act.

Psalm 37:5 ESV

Commit. The Hebrew here literally means... roll on...

Way. This way means... manner... habit... course of life...

So... if we roll our course of life onto Him...

trust Him in all our ways...

He will act...

Trusting Him brings His active power into our lives...

but this trust requires committing all our ways to Him...

I think about this verse often when I'm struggling with an emotional issue in my life... you know those relational issues... angst over loved ones...

I roll it on to Him...

give it to Him...

but the next thing I know... it's rolling around in my mind again...

I've taken it back...

Often I roll things onto Him multiple times a day...

but that is not the way to be...

The new way I want to live...

is leaning on Him in all my ways...

not just the things that cause angst...

or the things that challenge me beyond my limits...

but everything...

My entire way...

I want to see Him act on my behalf each and every day...

in multiple ways...

because I trust in Him...

Trust Him with it all...

and watch Him work...

Amen...
