I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
This short little phrase, after God has, in effect, been described as a storm, as a hurricane force. It seems that we are called to look at the power that is God and just take it all in. When we are tempted to make things work, to fight for our honor, to exalt ourselves, we need to remember that God is greater than anything we could muster. He is destructive to His enemies, He is protective of those He loves.
I can definitely say there have been times in my life when I've been faced with difficulties- ones that I could fight. Yet God has told me in many of those times to "Be still and know that I am God." And when He speaks that to me, the victory I've seen is far better than what I could have brought about myself.
