Rest

Today’s Scripture Readings:
OT: Isaiah 30
NT: Acts 17
W&W: Proverbs 25

Today’s Reflection:
Yesterday I mentioned my concern over the haste with which our jpresident is pushing great changes through our government. Everything seems to be in crisis mode. I'm sure he isn't looking for advice from me, but I would counsel him and others - who like me are prone to hurry - listen to the prophet Isaiah.

Isaiah 30.15, 18 says, “In repentance and rest is your salvation; in quietness and trust is your strength… The Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him.”

Let these words soak into your soul today.
  • Repentance
  • Rest
  • Quietness
  • Trust
  • Wait
  • Strength
  • Grace
  • Compassion
  • Justice
  • Blessing
Don’t be in a hurry. Just have a great day!

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
1 John 1.5-6: This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
