God is our salvation.

October 19, 2013 - Isaiah 12:1-6

    1 In that day you will say:
   “I will praise you, LORD.
   Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
   and you have comforted me.
2 Surely God is my salvation;
   I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense;
   he has become my salvation.”
3 With joy you will draw water
   from the wells of salvation.
   4 In that day you will say:
   “Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name;
   make known among the nations what he has done,
   and proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things;
   let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
   for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
Prophet Isaiah saw the vision that the Lord has become the salvation of Israel - He has become the strength and defense of His people, and He has turned away from his anger to His people. People of God can all come to draw water with joy from the wells of salvation. They can sing aloud for the Holy One who dwells among them. God is our salvation. What else can we fear? God is our strength. What else we can't conquer? God is our defense. What attacks from our enemies we can't overcome? Nothing due to our illness, physical weakness, fear, worries, uncertainties, confusion, people's misunderstanding can hinder us from drawing strength from the wells of God's salvation. God is our strength and salvation forever. He is our banner of victory!
