FORGETTING....
to give thanks to the One who saved us
FORGETTING....
the pit from which we were digged
FORGETTING....
that we have our strength
ONLY
because of our salvation.
This morning I was reminded.
"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.
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say,
Praise the LORD,
call upon his name,
declare his doings among the people,
make mention that his name is exalted.
Sing unto the LORD;
for he hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth." Isaiah 12:2-5
What is my duty today?
I am to REMEMBER...
that He has lovingly,
graciously
and wonderfully
SAVED ME
REMEMBER...
that I have no need to fear
because I am trusting in God and His salvation
REMEMBER...
that ALL the strength I need for this day,
is found in Him alone
REMEMBER...
to sing, and praise His name
for His goodness and His salvation
I have wells of salvation as my source. Wells that are so deep that they are unfathomable and can fill me and refresh me and give me that strength needed for all that comes my way...EVERY day.
I need only dip in and draw that water - the source is there - I need to simply take it.
And, then, what must I do?.....
shout it from the rooftops - express my satisfaction.
Praising God, first and foremost, calling upon Him in a prayer of thanksgiving to His name.
Declare it to others - do those around me know how good God is to me? Do I exalt His name?
SING IT! praise Him in song - make the song of the birds seem empty, without the words of thanks that we can bring. (can I hear you singing yet?.......)
WHY....because HE HAS DONE EXCELLENT THINGS!
Lord, how great Thou art....
Praise the Lord with me today, for His great salvation.
draw deep and sing strong
