be still
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,..."
Isaiah 30:15
We're being told how important it is to slow down, reflect and change from our ways of sinfulness. I think this is especially important during Lent or any time of fasting. So many people give up something, making a small sacrifice in acknowledging God's ultimate sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ. My question is, what are we doing instead? With that time that we now have from giving up a favorite TV show? or from eating at home instead of restaurants? Are we using that time to repent, rest, be quiet, and still?
Even outside of Lent and fasting, with the world being so fast paced...it seems this passage is even more relative to our lives. We need rest and quiet, we need our time to be still and trust in God so our strength can be renewed and our salvation appreciated.
