Introduction:

        In Isaiah 30: 15 says, This in what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says; repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness. and trust is your strength. Trust and rest relay each others in our Christian living. If the person rests and brings out peace and quiet; then the quiet hour is the power in God, you have never known, seen and heard before. God will be done in you.

        We shall talk about Trust the Lord as the Rock eternal, seek God, make our path straight, no trust God, our sorrows increase, joy has out of our lives, oppositely, Trust in God with joy, thankful song, with unfailing love we trust. We trust in Holy Name, so that we do dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture ... etc.

        Rest is our final relationship, God is with us, rest bring us to know He is God our body will rest secure, fear not, but peace and quiet in our heart.

        God is resting from his works (Genesis 2: 2), rest in the temple, seventh day was to be one day of rest. (Exodus 16:23; 31:15), and the land was to have its rest every seventh year (Leviticus 25:4). God promised rest to the Israelites in the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 12: 9). Then Christ offers rest of Soul (Matthew 11: 28, Hebrews 4: 10-12). And I am going to link trust and rest in Conclusions.

       Trust and Rest is a great topic, tomorrow we will start to study "Trust" in different consideration. Later we shall talk about "Rest" and give you an example.

We trust in God's deeds or words, so we can rest.
