The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.

Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
