7-21

Rest in my presence when you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in my company, you are demonstrating trust in me. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. I want you to lean on, trust, and be confident in me. When you lean on me for support, I delight in your trusting confidence.

Many people turn away from me when they are exhausted. They associate me with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from my presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens me! As I spoke through my prophet Isaiah: in returning to me and resting in me you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.

在你需要休息的時候，請在我的同在中休憩。休息並不一定是懶散的，雖然人們常常這樣理解。當你在我的陪伴下放鬆時，你展現了對我的信任。信任是一個豐富的詞，寓意著對你的生活有意義和方向。我希望你能依靠、信任並對我充滿信心。當你依賴我來獲得支持時，我因你充滿信心的信靠而感到欣喜。

許多人在疲憊時會遠離我。他們將我與責任和勤奮聯係在一起，所以當他們需要從工作中休息時，試圖避開我的存在。這讓我感到悲傷！正如我透過我的先知以賽亞所說：得救在乎歸回安息，得力在乎平靜安穩。
