So it is with a happy heart, I turn yet another corner on life's journey. I want to post a little of my heart in these days.
Recently, devotion has led me to Isaiah 30:15; "...In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:..." Obviously, this is a prophetic text but I would share illumination as given by the unction of the Holy Spirit.
- 38 years finds me "back at the house of bread"
- 11 of those years brought me to the Lord's perfect will
- 5 of those years taught trust that He did know best and Ps 57.7 - "my heart is fixed, O God, I will sing praises, my heart is fixed."
Flash to recent days and Isaiah 30:15. To be sure, 30.18 "...blessed are all they that wait on Him" but there is more in verse 15. I have "returned" and begun to "rest." Then, the truth resounding in the heart of this believer, "quietness and confidence is (my) strength." The truth is, "I have no need nor should I want to struggle, worry or fret because I know where stillness and confidence lie, "in HIM."
Dear believer, you have already been given the promise that one is "blessed" who "waits for Him." In that, you may;
- return, to the place you left Him
- rest, where you find Him
- quietly, wait on Him
- confidently, know you can trust Him
My Lord and my God, in the Name of Thine Only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, I humbly submit these truths and hope that whoever may find these words will be renewed, refreshed and helped in the daily walk with Thee.
