Are You Standing On The Strength and Ability Of God or Are You Trying To Do Things On Your Own?

Being still is never easy.   Standing still and being in one place is one of the hardest things to do.   Have you ever just tried to stand still in one place for a long period of time?   Isn't it funny how you still get tired even though you are not moving around?   Your legs get weary and your body gets faint and eventually you move.   You move out of that position or should I say stance that you were trying to stay in.   

That's how we do in life.   We do our best to be still and to wait on God but after a period of time, if we don't see the results "we want", we move out of place.   The Bible tells us not to get weary in well doing.  It tells us to be still and to know that God is God.   It tells us not to faint and not to give up.   

We have to start building up our stamina for the stance we are taking in life with God.   Our stamina is our strength, perseverance, and endurance.    We can only do that when we understand that it is God that gives us strength.   He enables us to persevere and to endure under hardship.   Until we learn how to give things in our lives over to God, we will never be able to endure and obtain the promise by standing still and waiting on God.  We have to know that it is only because of God that we have the strength and the ability to do anything in life.
