Isaiah 30:15-26 - 15For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel,"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." Find a few moments today and this week for rest and quietness. It doesn't matter if you can only spare 5 minutes. Just as God calls his people not to seek to save themselves, he is calling you and I today to rest in Him.
Revelation 2:1-29 - Here we see four of the seven churches that Revelation is written to. Notice how each section begins with a description of Jesus, details something good and something bad about the people, and ends with an encouragement to stay strong until the end. It's important for us to keep in mind who this letter was originally sent to. We often think of Revelation as a frightening book and series of "revelations" of disaster. The reality is that it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and a comforting word to God's people who suffer persecution.
