Covenant (your part before expecting God's part)

Exod 34:10 "Then the Lord said, “Now I’m going to make a covenant. Before all your people I’ll do miraculous deeds that haven’t been done in all the earth or in any nation. All the people among whom you live will see the work of the Lord, for it’s an awesome thing that I’ll do with you."

A covenant is made between two parties. After the covenant is made, until i am not committed to my part, other party is not committed to their part. In the next verse he said to Moses to do his part, that is to obey his command and then He will do his part that is to drive out the six nations that live in Canaan. 

(Exod 34:11 "Obey what I am commanding you today. I’ll drive out from before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.")

But all those nations are the puppets. The actual power that was behind them was the Satan. James said to resist the devil he will flee from us. Though you resist him, you resist him in the name of Jesus, thus this is God's part. What is your part in this before God does his part?. Before James said to resist the devil, he said, "Therefore, submit yourselves to God..." 4:7

Is there any thing that is not happening in your life, though you have been doing all spiritual things? May be what you have been expecting is connected to the covenant. So it may not happen until you do your part. What would be your part in this particular situation?
