As I read this chapter in Isaiah this morning I was overwhelmed at the gospel written here. The writer tells us that God was angry and then turned His anger away that he might be comforted.
oh praise the ONE who satisified his just wrath toward sinners by sacrificing Jesus!
I rejoice this morning for God has indeed turned his anger away from me because He poured it out on Jesus instead!! And then! God comforts me!!! GOD gives to us what we need to enter in relationship with Him. He gives us what we need to be adopted into the family of God!
It is indeed with JOY that I draw from the wells of salvation!
As you read this scripture today from the Old Testament may you see how full of grace it is and sing praises unto the God of our salvation!


Isaiah 12

"You will say in that day:
I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.

Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song
and He has become my salvation.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
And you will say in that day:

Give thanks to the Lord,
call upon His name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that His name is exalted.

Sing praises to the Lord, for He has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth.
Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."
