Isaiah 30:15

Why is Isaiah 30:15 significant?

In this passage, some of God’s people decided to take matters into their own hands instead of waiting for God to act. Through the prophet Isaiah, God warned them that they could do very little to save themselves from their enemies and other troubles that are unforseen. Only God can do that. We must wait for Him in “quietness and confidence”. No amount of fast talking or hasty activity can speed up God’s grand design. Salvation comes from God alone. Because He has saved us, we can trust Him and be peacefully confident that he will give us strength to face our difficulties. We should lay aside our well-laid plans and allow Him to act.
