To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing…” Isaiah 28:11-12a In previous devotionals the Holy Spirit had me focus on reminding us not to worry, but to stay in faith.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
