The Crutch

 



Have you ever had to use crutches?  They come in handy with severe ankle sprains, broken bones and knee or hip replacements.  When you are in pain or have reduced mobility, it’s great to have a crutch you can lean on.  You may get around slower and expend loads of energy, but you finally do get to your destination.

Proverbs 3:5-6

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

What’s better than a crutch?  A God you can lean on.  Crutches move with you but we have a God who does not move.  When or wherever you need to lean on Him, He is there.  What a relief to know we are not limited by our own wisdom and understanding.  When we acknowledge that He is actually the best crutch, He will direct our path.  We will finally get to where He wants us to be.
