God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

This reminded me of something we talked about at Fuel a few weeks ago (from Isaiah 30):
"God, the Master, The Holy of Israel,
has this solemn counsel:
'Your salvation requires you to turn back to me
and stop your silly efforts to save yourselves.
Your strength will come from settling down
in complete dependence on me—
The very thing
you've been unwilling to do.'
But God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you.
He's gathering strength to show mercy to you.
God takes the time to do everything right—everything.
Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones. "

Complete dependence on God.. stop trying to save ourselves.. that's something to contemplate. We need to wait upon the Lord and listen, and trust Him. What am I holding back at any given moment?
