Lean On Me

Ezekiel 29-32; Revelations 11 

“Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. ‘You have been a staff of reed for the house of Israel. When they grasped you with their hands, you splintered and you tore open their shoulders; when they leaned on you, you broke and their backs were wrenched.”

Ezekiel 29:6, 7

What are we leaning on for our support in life?

For some it’s a good friend, a job they enjoy, or their financial security. For others, “support” comes in darker ways through an addiction to alcohol, drugs, or porn. Israel repeatedly turned to Egypt for support rather than humble themselves before God. God pointed to Israel’s splinters in their hands and their wrenched backs to say their trust in Egypt had been like leaning on a staff made of a reed.

What are we placing our trust in to get us through life?

Are we leaning on a reed, rather than on the Living God?

What is God saying to us regarding where we put our trust?

“Lord God, I trust in you for our future as a family, that you would be glorified and your will be done in our lives, for your glory.”
