The Understanding not Strong Enough to Lean Upon
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding.


A thing may be useful which we must not lean upon, lest it should break and let us fall; a reed from an osier-bed is very useful to make baskets, but you should not lean upon it. So our understandings are very useful, but the best of them are not sufficiently strong to lean upon.

(Chicago Sunday School Teacher.)
