For the past few days I've been enjoying these verses from Isaiah 30:
"...In repentence and rest you will be saved, in quietness and trust is your strength..." v. 15
"Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him." v. 18
"...He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold you Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, 'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right or the left." v. 20-21
I don't really have anything to say about them, except may our strength be in quietness and trust and may we hear our Teacher when He says "this is the way, walk in it." Okay, maybe I have a little more to say about it. I was thinking about David when he fought Goliath. His strength was in quietness and in trusting the Lord. He wasn't showy or strong or awesome. But the Lord used him and called him to step out in faith in a radical way. So, quietness may not mean what we think (or what I tend to want to think).
Please pray for me, brothers and sisters. The Lord has been working, but I'm getting impatient to see real, tangible fruit of freedom in my life. I am still so timid, and I'm so tired of it. Pray that I would wait on Him, trusting that His timing is perfect. Pray that the Lord would increase my faith, and that I would step out in faith and get out of my comfort zone. Pray that the Lord would continue to speak into His calling in my life and what that is to look like in the next season of my life. Thank you so much for covering me in prayer. It has been such a blessing.
