HOLY WEEK - DAY 7

🕯️ Day 7 – Rest

📖 Scripture: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength." – Isaiah 30:15 (NKJV)

🔍 Exegetical Insight: "Returning" (shuvah) and "rest" (nachat) are linked as the path to salvation. True strength comes through settled quietness and confidence, not striving.

🛡 Shield Reality: You enter the new year not through anxious striving but through confident action rooted in rest. The Bridegroom comes to a bride who is actively prepared yet spiritually at rest - working from His strength, not toward His approval. True readiness flows from trust that fuels purposeful movement, not frantic activity or passive waiting. Rest demonstrates your confidence that He provides the power for what He assigns.

💡 Light Action: Set aside one hour today for complete rest—no striving, planning, or working. Simply rest in His government over your life. Pray: "You are Lord over this new year. I rest in Your leadership."
