In. this quiescent state will come the realization that He Ir able to do things. In this attitude we can liken the Israelites nt the Red Sea: “Stand still and sec the glory nf the Lord.” Only in this attitude can we be fed with a sort of holy daring, enabling us to possess the spirit of Caleb and loshua, opposing the majority, but ul limatfly entering In and possessing the land.
