"In repentance and rest you will be saved,
In quietness and trust is your strength."
But you were not willing,
Isaiah 30:15 (NASB95)
The requirements God gives us through the prophet Isaiah for renewal are so simple. He asks for repentance, rest, quietness and trust in His strength. God wants us to turn from our sinfulness to simply rest, to be quiet and to trust Him. The Christ follower should already be doing these things. But God says of His people in Isaiah they are not willing!
Are we willing? We often beg God to renew us. To give us peace and joy. To have a close walk with Him where we experience His presence. God says, "yes! I want that too." repent, rest, be quiet and trust me and I will give you all of that and more!
What will our response be? Will we be willing or will God say about us too, "you were not willing!"
