...when God is applying His divine pressure on us; situations that demand a faith-filled dependency on Him; a place where we are being shaped and bent as we wait ever so patiently for His divine response.... a.k.a., the human impossible feat... in these moments its not only important to know what He is pulling out of us and strengthening, but it is also good to take a mental inventory of our response to this pressing. How is my external response comparing against my inner reality; the spiritual reality within me. If we are truly at peace with the fire that God is refining us within, do our actions tell the same story?

.. sometimes I must exercise the response of quiet confidence in our Lord; speaking without reservation reflects the nervous, drowning and flailing state of the UNTRUSTING child.

...Boldly and courageously, and with quiet confidence, leap into God's redeeming flow. Really trust in His perfection...
