"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 8 February 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "A Hymn of Praise"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 12:1-6
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 12:2 "behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation."
This chapter is a song of triumphant and serves as a climax and doxology to the Immanuel prophecy (Isaiah 7:1-12:6). "I will praise thee" is an imperfect verb expressing continual action. "Behold, God is my salvation" literally means, "My salvation is God Himself!"
"The Lord JEHOVAH" is our "strength, song, and salvation." The expression is similar to the song of deliverance sung by the people of Israel when they crossed the Red Sea (Exodus 15:12). John 4:14 is reminiscent of the "water out of the wells of salvation." "Excellent things" are majestic things.
As in the Psalms, this hymn uses several terms for the praise of God. "Praise" means "to give public acknowledgment" or "to declare aloud in public." "Call upon His name" may be rephrased as "proclaim in His name." "Declare" means "to cause to remember." Each of these verbs designates public, vocal acknowledgment of the wonders and works of God.
These great things are to be preached to the whole world and sung and shouted aloud, "for great is the Holy One of Israel". With beautiful imagery, Isaiah closes this section of prophecy with a triumphal doxology of praise.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Also Pray for God's Peace and Blessings be with the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
