Leaning to live

The Lord was my support. Ps18.18

What a wonderful legacy it would be to come to the end of your life and be able to say, "The Lord was my support." Someone has said that people have four basic needs in life: To live, to learn, to love and to leave a legacy. I believe this to be a good aliteration, descriptive of life's needs and ambitions. But unless the Lord supports us in these things every accomplishment will be lost in vainty. Without the Lord's support we build our life upon the sand yet those who look to Him build their house upon the Rock of Ages. Didn't Christ tell us that the purpose of His coming was that we might have an abundant life? Didn't He tell us to come learn from His gentle and humble heart? Was not His greatest command that we love? Did He not promise abundant fruitfullness if we abide in Him? How then do we aquire the support of God? The answer is easy: lean on Christ. To acknowledge Him in everything is to know the power of His support.
