Isaiah 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.

But you would have none of it. Aren't those familiar words? God tells us the answer to all of our problems and we don't want anything to do with it. Before we received Jesus Christ in our hearts as Lord and Savior this was our favorite answer, I don't want anything to do with it. We wanted to do our own thing and Gods thing just wasn't it. Then we finally give in when we find out the truth of Gods love and we really want everything to do with it. Our lives are so full of God at that time we could just burst! We want to know everything there is to know about God. We desire to be a great believer. But then God begins to work in your life to bring about a great change, a new episode we might say, in our lives and we go right back to those words, I will not have anything to do with it.

Only in returning to Me and resting in Me will you be saved. These words aren't just for salvation. These words are written down for our every day lives. Every day you are staring into the gun barrels of the enemy. Every day you must face your own demons. Every day you must go through your own trial and testing. Every day of your life something goes on to bring improvement to our walk with Christ. But too many days we say I will have nothing to do with it. Our lives are precious to us. But we need to be reminded of the fact that we are even more precious to The Father than we are to our own selves. How many of us know how many hairs we have on us? The Father knows. How many of us know what we need before we even think about it? God Does. How many of us stay awake all the time taking care of everything. God does. He never sleeps He never slumbers are not mere words, they are the kind of loving care our God has for us. Psalm 121:5 The LORD Himself watches over you! The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade. 6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. 7 The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. 8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. But we would nave nothing to do with it! How could we shun so much love? How could we turn our backs on Gods will for us? Is it because He is so brutal a God that He forces His will and His way upon us? NO! It is because we do not want to give up ourselves to what God wants for our lives and we just keep saying those words over and over and over again, I don't want anything to do with it.

Here is the main reason we don't, in quietness and confidence is your strength. We do not like being quiet. And the confidence thing, Oh No! I have trusted other people before and what did it get me. Well quit looking at God like He is a people, a person, a human being. God has no faults except one, He loves us and He wants us to succeed. Every day of our life is numbered by the Lord. He loves and cares for us so much that He allowed His Son, His only true Son to go through Hell for us. He loves you as an individual, He loves all of us as a whole. He provides and cares for each individual as He is allowed to by that individual knowing He has so much more for them than they could ever think or imagine. But they just don't want anything to do with it. So much money, so much time is spent on education. People will spend up to ten years or more of their lives in universities and in higher education for their lives in the future. But they will not take time to sit and wait upon the LORD. People will climb the corporate ladder, they will fight for stardom and compete in the greatest races but will not be still for a moment to get to know God. People everywhere are crying out for more of everything but Jesus. But there is so much of that in us, the church, that it blocks out God in the church today. There is a television commercial from a company who promises to get your settlement or annuity money now. In that commercial there are several people screaming out, I want my money and I want it NOW! That is our prayer life. We want it now. But God says in quietness and confidence is great strength. Those people get their money but it isn't all of it. The company that gets it for you gets their part too. God wants to give you everything you desire but you have to learn to wait in quietness and in confidence. God is not into time. One day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day. He has no problem with waiting, We do! Learn to be quiet and have confidence so God can work faster.
