Consider... Resting

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne:

“In returning and rest ye are saved, in keeping quiet and in confidence is your might”

Isaiah 30:15 (Young’s Literal Translation)

Let us slow down our thoughts for a moment... and consider... resting in the salvation of our gracious and loving Savior, Jesus Christ.

Allow yourself to appreciate the life-renewing blessing of being quiet before Him and with Him; that you may meditate upon your Lord, adore Him, and learn of Him in His presence. For He truly is your confidence and your might.

We are not merely resting. We are resting in our indwelling Lord Jesus Christ, in His full salvation, and in all that He has done on our behalf.

It is with knowing gratitude and worshipful devotion that we are resting in His presence and, in His presence we are being renewed.

Yes, “You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence in fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11). Thank You Lord!

As we rest in Who He is and all He has done, we allow ourselves to become more and more filled with the awareness of truly how great a salvation and how great a Savior we have. Bless His Holy Name!

When we rest in our Lord, He fills us anew with the richness of Himself, so our “confidence” in God is indeed high. Similarly, we are blessed to joyfully realize that our “might” is actually His life within us!

Oh we praise Your Holy Name Lord God. You invite us to cease from our labors, and to rest in You, our God and our salvation. Thank You for saving us and giving us true “rest” in You. May we rise from our rest strengthened and confident in You. Thank You for Your grace, mercy, peace and love that crowns our lives as we rest in You, even as we live in this world. We love You Lord and we know You first loved us. Hallelujah!
