‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭28‬-‭31‬ ‭ESV‬‬ — Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

On this Savor Saturday, I encourage us to savor the times we rest in God and experience pockets of peace and hope. Deborah, Ray, and I have savored our time reading and sharing The Bible Recap with each other. Tara-Leigh Coble says, “The more we know God and His Word, the more hopeful we’ll be—not full of hope in our desired outcome, but hope in Him.”

Today’s key verse was written by one of the Major Prophets, Isaiah who instructs us that “the Lord is the Everlasting God.” We are instructed by the Apostle Paul that we can find hope in what is written in God’s word in Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬ — For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

I challenge us to savor our time of rest with God as we go to our places of worship tomorrow.
