"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it."
Wise words from the prophet Isaiah. Lately, in these very reflective days, I have just kept repeating these words to my heart over and over again. I definitely do not want said of me that I "want none of it". Actually, I want lots of it. Frankly, all of it. Nothing is more helpful to me these days than to rest and be repentant. Than to be quiet and simply trust Him. Doing this is saving me and strengthening me.
I don't know how else to describe it to you than to say this; Seek the Lord humbly. Surrender to Him. Empty yourself. Repent and rest. Quietly trust Him and let Him assure you of your salvation, not only in the eternal sense, but save you also from the oppression of the moment, the pressing issues of this season and all the matters of today. He will strengthen you and give you what you need.
Wise men and women indeed still seek Him and find Him in trust and quietness. Draw near to Him. He is not only listening, He is responding to the earnest cry of our hearts. I know this to be true.
In His Grip,
Pastor Fred
