Is 30:15 "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".
This verse hasn't been from my "through the Bible in a year" reading - but the Lord has given me this verse at the beginning of this year as a sort of guidepost that I need more rest and more quietness in my life. And so does my family. Likely that rest and quietness will lead to some repentance as well! As I watch the pace at which life is being lived around me, some days it makes me tired just to watch! I don't believe the Lord intended for us to skim through life - but to savor and treasure it. So, please help me Lord, to stay focused on You as I enter into this new year and new decade... not get so wrapped up in the urgent all around me that I don't see what's truly important.
