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. Isaiah 30:15 NIV (Emphasis mine)
Lord, let it not be said of us that we would have none of it.
“In Rest” by Travis Cottrell
I’ve heard You in the thunder
I felt You in the rain
I’ve met You in the turmoil
I found You in the pain
But here in the stillness
When this moment, all is well
Here I’m prone to wonder
Hear my rebel tell
Cure my heart of chasing whirlwinds
Of needing earth to quake
Of wrestling made up angels
To keep myself away
There’s passion in the stillness
There’s fire in the cloud
There’s rest that brings a man to life
There’s a voice that whispers loud
O, bid my restless wandering heart
To find its pulse in You
In stillness know that You are God
In rest You make me new
The Lord Bless you with rest, with being still, and knowing that He alone is God.

Beautiful reminder. His makes us new!!! Thank you. Lovely song; I like Travis Cottrell
This part is my favorite, a clear diagnosis of how and why our hearts wander:
Cure my heart of chasing whirlwinds
Of needing earth to quake
Of wrestling made up angels
To keep myself away
In being still I can hear God’ guidance.
Thank you, I needed that beautiful prayer and reminder that God is present at all times…
