My Strength and My Song

Scripture:

“See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The Lord GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭12:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage God was speaking through Isaiah about what He was going to do to Israel.  He was finished with them and was going to destroy them through the Assyrians.  At the same time, He said, it won’t last forever, but I will wipe our the Assyrians and bring you back to your home.  His goal is that His people will say, “God has come to save me.  I will trust in him and not be afraid.  The Lord God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.”

Application:

God wants to be our strength and song, our victory and the one we trust.  He wants us to depend in Him for our sustenance and our battles.  He wants to be the center of our lives.  He wants us to yield the glory to Him for all He does in our lives.  When we don’t praise Him for what He has done, we are walking in pride and He then will resist us instead of working on our behalf.  I need to trust God more and praise Him more.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to give Your praise more often and to let the world know how amazing You are.  Open doors for me to declare Your goodness to the nations and I will go.  If You open the doors, I will declare Your praises to the ends of the earth.  You are my strength and my song.  You are my victory. I owe all my life to You.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
