RE Verse reading–Isaiah 30:1-17, 31:1 (day seven) “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, but you would have none of it.’ ” (vs 15) Ultimately, it is not sin that destroys a person or a nation. It is stubbornness. The Bible says, “there is none righteous, no, not one” (Romans 3:10) Isaiah calls God, “the Holy ONE of Israel”. So long as we will look to that ONE for help, there is a solution for sin, no matter how large or dark. When we refuse, there ceases to be hope. We will meet today around God’s hopeful/sad words. In repentance and rest we can all find salvation. In quietness and trust , strength. When we stubbornly refuse, there is nothing that can be done. May the Lord melt our stubborn hearts. We need His salvation like never before. I will see you in a few hours.–Don
