Who Are You Leaning On?
By: Anne Peterson Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 It was April 1972 when Bill Withers wrote the song, Lean on Me. A song many are familiar with. It addresses how we all have pain and sorrow in our lives. That we know there will be a tomorrow. And it invites the other person to lean on me. Assuring them we can be a friend, we can help them carry on, and that at one time or another we all need someone to lean on. I've always loved the song. And yet, I don't think our spouses were made so that we fully lean on them. I think that's God's place. Are we to be there to help family and friends? Yes. Especially those who become our spouses. But if we lean on others instead of leaning on God, it isn't fair to anyone. |
