“…you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I CALL out to the LORD, and HE ANSWERS ME FROM HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because THE LORD 1SUSTAINS ME.” (Psa. 3:3-6) 1çâmak: lean on, rest upon, refresh and revive. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” (Pro. 3:5)
In trusting fully in the Lord, leaning and resting in Him and not leaning on our own understanding — we’re not setting aside our intellect. We’re resting our intellect upon the intellect of God. Nothing is wiser or saner. To do so is to allow Him to direct our paths, which not only lead to ultimate joy, but also make the journey itself, even when loaded with sorrow, it is still so joyful.
♪What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms…
“Oh, THE DEPTH OF THE RICHES OF THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond finding out!” (Rom 11:33)
Scientists gaze through the lens of the Hubble Telescope at the depths of the universe and there are no words adequate to describe what they are seeing. They are so awe-struck they cannot express what they have caught a glimpse of. But remember that they are seeing those sights of the immense and glorious cosmos which God created. Remember, we are looking at the universe that our God made, and how wonderfully awesome it is…
YOU ARE A WISE AND WONDERFUL GOD AND YOU LOVE US…
