Isaiah 30: A new spring in your step

30:15   ‘“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength’

Salvation and strength are daily blessings. To be saved from our darkness – the darkness within that shuts out the light within – is our deepest desire. To be strong in faith, hope and love is the means of happiness and fulfilment.  But, how do we reach these things? The answer is in repentance – a turning away from those things that separate us from others and from God. In repentance and in a quiet, restful trust we can let go of our turmoil for a moment or two and drink in the calm and blessed healing of the Holy One of Israel. He is stronger than our weakness and more compassionate than anyone else we know.

Let us make way for this healing in places and times of quiet, trust and repentance. When all around is noise and confusion; when all within us is fear and doubt let us make way for the saving power of God who desires with all his heart our happiness, our healing, our liberation.
Believe it.

Trust him.
Start again.
Be quiet for a moment.
Repent in silence.
Repent in your heart.


And go out again among people with a new spring in your step.
