Until you have nothing

God will wait for you to run out of your own strength. God waited patiently until Pharaoh exhausted all his option. God waited to prove to him who he was. The reason God waited he wanted him to use all his option that he taught might work for him. God will wait patiently for you to exhausted everything you have, your power your strength so that when he the Lord does it, you will know and have no doubt that he alone is God and is able not you. 

Elijah waited for them he gave them a chance to call to their God's until they themselves realized they were not coming to their rescue, then he called the only God the creator of heaven and earth and he answered. The reason for this was for them to know who the only true God is.

Everything you going through God is waiting on to exhausted everything he once you to get to a point where you say God I cannot make it on my own I need you to carry me. So that you know who is God and don't praise yourself because at times we praise ourselves our strength and God wants us to acknowledge him.
