Repentance and Rest
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: �In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.� Isaiah 30:15 NIV
There are so many who are still trying to do it on their own. Sometimes one of those is me!
When will we learn? We aren't saved by what we do, and our strength doesn't come from our abilities either.
Now, please don't misunderstand. God is not saying that we are to sit on our hands and do nothing. That would be contrary to the whole word of God. In fact, God detests laziness.
But, you and I, the children of God, do not fight our battles the way the rest of the world does. We don't have to worry, cheat, lie or steal our way to success. We have a secret (really not so secret) weapon. God is our fortress and our strength. He is our helper in times of distress.
When we learn to, in our heart, wait on Him to see us through the battle, then, and only then, will we begin to see the victories for which we are fighting.
