Have you sought to exchange your own human effort for divine strength? What happened?

When I encounter situations that are beyond my ability, I put my trust in the Lord who gives me His strength and wisdom to overcome or endure through it.

Absolutely!!! I would cry out to God that I was here in my quiet place and needed to feel His presence, His strength. It didn’t seem like anything was changing but I kept doing it and then He showed up and the Word would be sooo Good. I could see God in everything.

I’m looking forward to submitting myself in this way because I normally just give up. I can’t wait to see what God will do and how much more disciplined I’ll be and how much more productive I’ll be with a better attitude too. I look forward to using this moving forward.

I never really thought of it this way. I will have to diligently seek this because I know it would be better than me trying to achieve something on my own which I can not do anyway.

When we try to do things on our own it rarely ends well. When we trust in God to help us through a situation or ask Him for help He is faithful to help us. If we only strive to do things that we can do in our own power, we are not relying on God. God size dreams, God size goals, when we know something won’t happen unless God shows up then we know we are relying on divine strength and not our own.
