it seems that our natural inclination is like the “do it yourself” mentality. Our whole world is based on the idea that “the harder you work, the further you go.” this is impressed into us since we were born. So, to come into God’s kingdom, which is like the total opposite, (the more you rest/trust, the further you go) so most the time i think it is just habitual that we “strive” in our own efforts to get things accomplished. but striving in our own efforts to get things done ends up in us getting the glory instead of the Jesus way of rest and trust where we depend on and completely “let go” and “Let God” then we walk in a “thine is the kingdom, thine is the glory” mentality.
