“For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”
Isaiah 30:15 KJV
The Israelites were insisting on getting help from Egypt even as God warned them not to turn to that world power of ancient times! There real strength was the quietness & confidence in the Lord! Our real strength of quietness & confidence is the sacrifice of the Lamb of God on the Cross of Calvary. We instead put our trust in the world system and in the world powers of today, in man and in princes. God is saying to us that He has made us partakers of Christ and to keep our confidence in the finished work of the Cross steadfast to the end. We can never suffer from dearth and disease when Jesus is our confidence, and Christ is our sufficiency. Let’s make this real in our lives that Christ is our sufficiency.....the Holy Spirit helps us do that as we willingly partake of Christ.
