(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word, and let it be the meditation of my heart...)
(Isaiah 12:1-6)
1 Then you will say on that day,“I will give thanks to You, Lord;
For although You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away,
And You comfort me.
2 Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the Lord God is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”
3 Therefore you will joyously draw water
From the springs of salvation.
4 And on that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples;
Make them remember that His name is exalted.”
5 Praise the Lord in song, for He has done glorious things;
Let this be known throughout the earth.
6 Rejoice and shout for joy, you inhabitant of Zion,
For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
God's amazing love and grace is demonstrated in this chapter as it simply describes His salvation!
- we are born sinners- when we seek God's forgiveness, we are saved from His wrath
- in His salvation, we are citizens of "Zion" (of God's heavenly kingdom)
- in His salvation, He comforts us and gives us His strength
- we can trust and not be afraid
- therefore, we should praise and exalt Him, sing out our joy, and be so very thankful
- therefore, we should thirst to know Him more and daily drink from His living water by studying His word, and drawing closer to Him
- therefore, we should call on Him all the time, for everything
- and we should want to share the gospel message with others, all in His strength to His glory!
It is so great that the Lord wants us to have a close relationship with Him, and has provided the way!
