Isaiah 30:15 and 18
15 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…”
18 Yet 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!
I came across this scripture during my devotionals Sunday morning and it has been speaking to me ever since. I find such great peace in these verses.
Rest. Salvation. Quietness. Trust. Strength. Gracious. Compassion. Justice. Blessed.
Who doesn’t want these things in life? Who doesn’t want these things in every waking and sleeping moment of their life? I know I do. And the older I get, the more apparent this becomes to me. I want to rest. I cherish my salvation. I want to be strong in the blood that was shed for my sins by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God for his tender mercy and grace. I thank God for his compassion that flows over me like a river. And I want to be blessed. Don’t get me wrong. I am already blessed beyond measure. But as I wait to get our little guy home, I pray for God’s favor and blessing on the final stage(s) of this adoption process.
These are definitely words worth living by.
