Dear Church Family, I read through Isaiah 12 this morning in my quiet time. It’s such a beautiful passage of praise to God and I decided to share the entire chapter with you. It comes right on the heels of a description of the Millennial Kingdom in chapter 11, where God would bring the people back to the land and establish His Messiah as King. This chapter describes the response of the remnant as they return and find their salvation in the Lord.
I love the response the people will have, when they understand just how incredible their salvation is. The description in verse three really moved me, “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Salvation is a well that doesn’t run dry. It refreshes, restores, and gives life. It brings joy to those who draw from it. It reminds me of our own salvation. We find joy when we draw from the well of salvation. Our natural response should be the same thanksgiving and praise described in verses five and six. Today, would you stop and remember your well of salvation. Think about what you were saved from. Think about what it cost God to save you. Think about what He has saved you for. May you find joy, give thanks, make known His deeds, proclaim that His name is exalted, praise Him, shout, and sing for joy. –Pastor Dave What’s Happening at Gospel Life:No Youth Group: We’re taking this Sunday off for Mother’s Day.
