Return And Rest In God

Isaiah 30:15  

"For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; 

In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness 

and in confidence shall be your strength: 

and ye would not." 

   The method God used to guide Israel into salvation and strength was, "In returning and rest shall ye be saved." The God that knew them, and knew what was proper for them, and desired their welfare, gave them this prescription; and it is recommended to us all. Would we be saved from every evil and calamity and guarded against the temptation of it and secured from the curse of it?  It must be in returning and rest, in returning to God and placing our rest in Him. Let us return from our evil ways, into which we have gone aside, and rest and settle in the way of God and duty, and that is the way to be saved. Return and rest satisfied in the will of God, and then you may trust Him with your safety.  Return through reformation of your hearts and lives, and entire submission of your souls to God and rest in God. 

   My Friends, Would we be strengthened to do what is required of us and to bear what is laid upon us? It must be in quietness and in confidence; we must keep our spirits calm and a continual dependence upon God, and His power and goodness. We must maintain into ourselves a holy quietness, and keeping the peace in our own minds. And we must rely upon God with a holy confidence that He can do what He will and will do what is best for His people. And this will be our strength. It will inspire us with a holy fortitude and will carry us with ease and courage through all the difficulties we may face. "Remember God's prescription: In returning and rest shall ye be saved."
Amen!
