Habakkuk 2

Then the Lord replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."

Your Salvation

 Woe to the Obstinate Nation

 “Woe to the obstinate children,” 

   declares the LORD, 

“to those who carry out plans that are not mine, 

   forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, 

   heaping sin upon sin; 

who go down to Egypt 

   without consulting me; 

who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection, 

   to Egypt’s shade for refuge. 

But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame, 

   Egypt’s shade will bring you disgrace… 

everyone will be put to shame 

   because of a people useless to them, 

who bring neither help nor advantage, 

   but only shame and disgrace.” 

 

…This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: 

 

   “In repentance and rest is your salvation, 

   in quietness and trust is your strength, 

   but you would have none of it…” 


Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; 

   he rises to show you compassion. 

For the LORD is a God of justice. 

   Blessed are all who wait for him!

Isaiah 30:1-5, 15, 18 (NIV 1984)


Your Salvation  


An Original Work / May 29, 2011

Based off of Isaiah 30


In repentance is your salvation.

In quietness and trust is your strength.

The Lord longs to be gracious to you.

Blessed are all who wait for Him.


Pharaoh’s protection will be your shame.

Egypt’s shade will bring you to disgrace.

Ev’ryone will be put to their shame,

Because they trusted in man.


Woe to those who carry out their plans

Without consulting God their Savior.

God’s calling out for you to listen

And obey all He commands.


In repentance is your salvation.

In quietness and trust is your strength.

The Lord longs to be gracious to you.

Blessed are all who wait for Him.
