In Covenant or... Not in Covenant ...
When you enter God's Covenant everything changes. You have God's own Spiritual Life in you that begins to teach you all truth (John 14:26  ), you have an ability to see and perceive the secrets you need to know in order to walk with and commune with a faultless and Holy God even while you are not yet perfected.
But you will not and cannot stay the same. It is a long and dangerous journey with the Lord now and he brings you continually to new places where you must trust Him exclusively more and more.
The strength of your life becomes more and more to be the strength and integrity of the covenant of God with you. That's what the bible means when it says that - His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9 ).
1 Cor 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. NIV
It was forty years in the wilderness with the first generation of Israel, and some thousands of years of history since. Some people point to the violence in the world as proof that God has failed, but God says,
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some people's conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you, not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance. AMP
