Psalm 37

Psalm 37:39
But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in time of trouble.
Man cannot do his own salvation.  He can't be good enough, or right enough, or pure enough, or strong enough.  He can't be smart enough, or humble enough.  No matter what we try, we will always come up short.  Only God can grant us salvation.

However, God can make us good enough for a situation.  He can make use strong enough to resist temptation.  He can make us smart enough to run when we need to.  He can make us humble enough to ask for His help.  He can even make us ask for others' help, when needed.  He could force us to do all this, but doesn't.  We have to choose it, or else it wouldn't matter, because it wouldn't be our choice to come to Him.
