[He'll do it; you don't need to.] Also Deut. 6:23 -- He brought us out... so He could bring us in. <br /><br />So, when we're in that "middle zone", waiting. "Waiting" takes strength. All we have, all we can hope for, is holding/ trusting in Him for the results. He'll fight for us, and He'll open the way to the next path...<br /><br />Thanks for your insights/wisdom.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5952217323580442767.post-29471847454227348152010-06-30T09:57:17.580-05:002010-06-30T09:57:17.580-05:00It's taken me years to learn the strength invo...It's taken me years to learn the strength involved in surrender.

But I suppose really it's not surrender as we usually think of it, as in giving up. It's turning over our lives completely for His glory. That's when and where the strength begins.

Amen. ..."Standing is not for the faint."<br /><br />Amen. Your post reminded me of Ephesians 6:10-11 (NIV)<br /><br /> 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.<br /><br />In order to stand we need to find strength in God and equip ourselves with His armor.Dusty Rayburnhttp://rlcblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
