There are two ways of doing things: the right way and the wrong way.
1. IT IS NOT TRYING BUT IN TRUSTING what Jesus had done for us as our elder brother who stands at the head of the huan family. He lived a perfect life to prove to the Adamic race, angels,and unfallen worlds, that God's law can be obeyed, and that Satan's charge that God's law cannot be obeyed is a lie. We can keep the Law of God by grace when we trustingly accept Jesus as our Savior, and Substitute in this life.
"We find that the Law keeps slipping into the picture to point the vast extent of sin. Yet, though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still! The whole outlook changes—sin used to be the master of men and in the end handed them over to death: now grace is the ruling factor, with righteousness as its purpose and its end the bringing of men to the eternal life of God through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:20-21.
When grace and obedience by faith in Christ is the only option for Christlike living-- no life of a lie.
"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love"
John 15:10
NOT IN RUNNING BUT IN RESTING that we find our partnership of yoking with Christ easy, and the burden light.
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
NOT WONDERING BUT IN PRAYING that we find the strength of the Lord.
"But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble." Psalms 37:39
God has placed limits on what our adversary can do to us. It is only by surrendering the will completely to Jesus, and praying often that the Spirit-Filled is possible.
"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost"
Jude1:20
Strength of the Lord Lyrics
Sometimes life seems like words and music
That can't quite become a song
So we cry and sigh then we try again
And wonder what could be wrong
But when we turn to the Lord at the end of ourselves
Like we've done a time or two before
We find His truth is the same as it's always been
We never will need more
It's not in trying but in trusting
It's not in running but in resting
Not in wondering but in praying
That we find the strength of the Lord
He's all we need for our every need
We never need be alone
Still He'll let us go if we choose to
To live life on our own
Then the only good that will ever be said
Of the pains we find ourselves in
They are places to gain the wisdom to say
I'll never leave Him again
It's not in trying but in trusting
It's not in running but in resting
Not in wondering but in praying
That we find the strength of the Lord
It's not in trying but in trusting
It's not in running but in resting
Not in wondering but in praying
That we find the strength of the Lord
It's not in wondering, but in praying
That we find the strength of the Lord
