Isaiah said this, “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.” Surely GOD IS MY SALVATION; I WILL TRUST AND NOT BE AFRAID. The LORD JEHOVAH Himself, is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation.” With joy you will DRAW WATER FROM THE WELLS OF SALVATION. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD, PROCLAIM HIS NAME…for He has done glorious things; let this be known TO ALL THE WORLD.” (Isaiah 12:1-5) The chapter begins with a song of thanks for God’s anger being turned away, “For God so loved the world that HE GAVE His only begotten Son…” (John 3:16) And of praise for God’s salvation. In this verse an almost exact echo of the song of Moses following the deliverance of the people of Israel from Pharaoh’s army. The wells of God’s salvation speaks to those who suffer from the lack of water. “MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU; MY FLESH LONGS FOR YOU In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.” (Psalms 63:1) God’s salvation flows and overflows, fulfilling in us, deepest need of our thirsty souls with the very presence of God in our lives.
Jesus said to us, GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE…(Mark 16:15)
