Isaiah 12:2
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and
not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH
is my strength and my song ; he
also is become my salvation."
When the sinner first finds peace and joy in believing; and to the believer, when his peace is renewed after corrections for backsliding; and to the whole company of the redeemed, when they meet before the throne of God in heaven, the promise is sure. The blessings contained are very rich; and the benefits enjoyed through Jesus Christ, call for the most enlarged thanksgivings. By Jesus Christ, the Root of Jesse, the Divine anger against mankind was turned away, for he is our Peace. Those to whom God is reconciled, he comforts. I will trust him to prepare me for his salvation, and preserve me in it. I will trust him with all my concerns, not doubting that he will make all to work for the good.
My friends; Faith in God is a sovereign remedy against tormenting fears. Many Christians have God for their strength, but those who have God for their strength ought to make him their light and give him the glory. This salvation is from the love of God the Father, it comes to us through God the Son, it is applied by the new-creating power of God the Spirit. When this is seen by faith, the trembling sinner learns to hope in God, and is delivered from fear.
This work flows through the mediation of Christ, and is conveyed to our souls by means of God's ordinances. Blessed be God, we have wells of salvation opened on every side, and may draw from them the waters of life and consolation. As believers we need to encourage one another to praise God, and draw others to join us. No difference of opinions or other such matters, ought to divide the hearts of Christians. Let it be our care that we may be placed among those to whom he will say, Come, ye blessed of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
Amen!!
