 In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)

 Have you ever experienced a season in your life when you knew what would rescue you, but you ran from it? Like me, you may rank these memories among your greatest regrets. Surely, everyone has run from real answers at one time or another. But the same equation that first led us to Christ also applies to these situations: “In repentance and rest is your salvation!” Eternal salvation, of course, requires that we repent of our sins and depend on the work of Christ. Our need of deliverance, however, does not end once we become Christians. We still need lots of help avoiding snares and pitfalls. Let's receive it, not run from it.
