The Lord says, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." (Isaiah 29:13)
Talk is cheap and easy. God's people talk all the time. We say good things. But whom do we treasure in our hearts?
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)
Repentance and rest give way to God's rescue. Quietness and trust channel God's power. Oh, let me be turned this way, Lord!
