It is good to live in the awareness that apart from the Lord we can do nothing. John 15:5

Psalm 84:5 says, Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.”

Verse 7 says, “They go from strength to strength…”

When we walk in the Spirit, then our fleshly automatic pilot is dismantled. Galatians 5:16-17

Psalm 84:11 is a reminder of one blessing of the righteous. It says, “The Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

Psalm 34:9-10 says, Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him…those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.”

What do you lack? I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit where you stepped out in your own strength.

The path of obedience is strewn with grace. Years ago I heard a pastor say that grace is God’s strength to do what He called us to do. 

When I’m in a hard circumstance I like to say, “Lord, I’m standing in my grace box.” All four sides say “Your grace is sufficient for me.”
