Isa 28:12 “… this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the
weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”
Here is a gracious promise of God's favor to the remnant of
his people.
The Israelite's were reproved and threatened for their dullness
and stupidity, and inaptness to profit by the instructions which the prophets
gave them in God's name (vss 9-13).
Likewise, I can mistake being delayed with being denied.
What God is using for my rest and refreshing I can mistake for
denial and discouragement.
Just because everything except you is moving about does not mean
you’ve been left behind.
God’s delay in my life might have protected me from something
that lie ahead I couldn’t see or wasn’t profitable for me. Or it may be God
resting and refreshing me for something glorious that lies ahead.
The response I take will have the greatest impact on God’s
will working in my life.
If I remain patient rather than impetuous in God’s process my
spirit finds His rest rather than restlessness (Isa 40:31).
Just because you find yourself delayed, don’t feel denied.
Enjoy His rest knowing the Father is preparing and refreshing you for something
glorious.
You may not get there when you want, but He’ll get you there
when He needs you, and rested!
HSAY… Todd
