Learning to lean

Right now I'm learning to not just lean on, and lean into God. Leaning on God is like using him as a proof that you are right. Leaning into is much scarier.

I'm not exactly sure where God is taking me, but, what's becoming abundantly clear is my need to fully rely on him. I heard Dallas Willard say that the problem with our theology is that we trust God for our salvation but not for our next sandwich.

Leaning into God is like standing on a cliff during a windstorm, and leaning forward, trusting that you won't fall. What I'm learning is that if we believe God is God, we must expect and rely on him for everything. We must lean off the cliff, and trust that he loves us too much to let us fall.
