In Quietness and Trust

Isaiah 30:15

In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.

NIV

Israel sought salvation in alliances, chariots, military might. God offered something different: repentance and rest, quietness and trust. This is not the strength the world recognizes. It looks like weakness to rely on what you cannot control. But God's economy runs differently. The noise of striving drowns out the voice of God. The rush to solve prevents the peace of trusting. Where do you find strength: in more effort or in more surrender?

Ponder This

Am I seeking strength in striving or in stillness?

Today's Practice

Speak This Truth

My strength is found in quietness and trust, not striving.
