Text:
Isaiah 12:1-3 (NLT)
1 In that day you will sing: "I will praise you, O LORD! You were angry with me, but not any more. Now you comfort me.
2 See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."
3 With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation!
Observation:
The day that the prophet Isaiah spoke about in our focal passage has come. God has come to save us. Notice what the Apostle Paul writes to the Gentile believers in the Church at Ephesus.
Ephesians 1:10-11 (NLT)
10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NLT)
13 And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago.
14 The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
The Saints of every age has something to praise and glorify God for. You may not be able to rejoice about your circumstances, but you can always rejoice in the God of your salvation.
Isaiah 12:3 (NLT)
3 With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation!
Ephesians 1:14 (NLT)
14 The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.
Prayer:
Father God, we give praise to You for being the God of our salvation and our strength. Father, we give honor and glory to Your Most Holy and Righteous Name. We rejoice together, in Jesus name, Amen.
1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT)
10 And the LORD came and called as before, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel replied, "Speak, your servant is listening."
