Leaning Times Are Learning Times

It’s sometimes good to be in need,
For in these times we learn to “lean”.
When we draw nigh to the Lord
New perspectives we will glean.

The more we trust and lean on Him
The more we’ll learn, the more we’ll grow,
For when we’re in our time of need
New insights we will gain and know.

Learning times aren’t filled with ease.
They may be hard or take some work.
But they will give us understanding
If the “lessons” we don’t shirk.

Until we’ve weathered through some “need”
Our vision hasn’t “opened up”.
When we lean upon the Lord
We’ll drink from Wisdom’s golden cup.

“He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him and honour him.”
Psalm 91:15 KJV

“As for God, His way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him,”
Psalm 18:30 KJV
