"They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel: but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul" (Psalm 106:13-15).
The lessons of leanness
Are so hard to learn!
While forfeiting cleanness,
God's counsel we spurn.
We get our request
At a terrible price.
We forfeit God's rest,
And spurn God's advice.
Lord, teach us instead,
By Your Spirit's control,
And not by the dread
Of this leanness of soul!
