Trusting in God’s promises without understanding the details can be very frightening, difficult, and frustrating. In Isaiah 30 we find a terrified Judah yoked with Egypt and not God because Assyria threaten to destroy their kingdom. Judah, sought alliance from a ‘lesser’ enemy because they failed to see that God was in the process of orchestrating his promise of protection. Despite Judah’s lack of trust God said in V15, “In RETURNING and REST you shall be saved; in QUIETNESS and CONFIDENCE shall be your strength.” Unfortunately, Judah rejected God’s promise and instead of seeing the Lord’s salvation and strength, they were forced to flee! Trusting in God’s promises means RETURNING. If there is known disobedience in your live, you must return to the Lord’s ways. Secondly, you can find REST in God and when you do, it shows you’re really trusting in His promises. Thirdly, trusting in God’s promises means QUIETNESS. You don’t need to argue for your side when God is already on your side. Be quiet before Him and before others. Lastly, trusting in God’s promises means CONFIDENCE. You know God can and will come through for you! So, no matter what the circumstance(s) choose to trust in God’s promises even without the details.
