RETURN AND REST (1)
The Rock Teaching Ministry Read Isaiah 30:15-17
Meditation verse:
“For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel. In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you would not.” (Isaiah 30:15)
In Isaiah 30:15-16 says “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, but you would have none of it. You said, ‘No, we will flee on horses.’ Therefore, you will flee! You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’ Therefore, your pursuers will be swift!”.
Is there a desperate situation in your life that you are expending all your effort to fix? Or maybe you are considering compromising your values in the process. It is time to return and rest. Haven’t you observed that the more desperate you are about getting something, the more elusive it becomes? Here’s God’s promise to you this day, “O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colourful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires” (Isaiah 54:11). And Romans 9:16 says “So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy”. It’s time for you to return and rest.
IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
If you prayed this prayer, send me an email at rockteachingministry@gmail.com
I would love to pray with you personally and send you a copy of my book; ‘Living the Life’ to encourage you as you begin your new life in Christ.
