Strength to Sit Still

So often I only think of physical strength when reading and claiming God's promises. But how about this perspective on the strength God gives?

Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation] - Psalm 68:28 (Amplified Bible)

"The Lord imparts unto us that primary strength of character which makes everything in life work with intensity and decision. We are 'strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.' 

 'As thy days, so shall thy strength be' - strength of will, strength of affection, strength of judgment, strength of ideals and achievement."

...'The Lord is my strength' to sit still. And how difficult is the attainment! Do we not often say to one another, in seasons when we are compelled to be quiet, 'If only I could do something!' ... But to do nothing, just to sit still and wait, requires tremendous strength. 'The Lord is my strength!' 'Our sufficiency is of God.''
