We think we can do it on our own, but we end up with a lot of stress and discouragement. If we will just listen to the Lord and do things His way, we can eliminate all of that defeat and trouble. Isaiah told the people of his day just what the Lord said for them to do instead of trusting in Egypt to save them from their enemies. (Isaiah 30:15) "This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says, "Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it." This verse should be a great encouragement to all of us, as believers.
