"For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."
Isaiah 62:1
Sometimes we just want everyone to shut up and leave us alone... which is a fair request temporarily, when we're trying to manage anxiety or need some space, but I appreciate this scripture because the Lord reminds us that he won't shut up and go away permanently... he will always be there to keep trying to help us, and won't ever give up leading us to righteousness, helping us burn off the dross and prepare for our salvation.
Today, let's trust that the Lord will be there to help us whenever we reach out... knowing that he won't rest until we are better than we are. Maybe we need to rest once in a while, but let's make sure it isn't for long... let's get back in there and do everything we can to help God to save both ourselves and others.
