God is My Salvation

Is. 12:2 - "Behold God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid. For the Lord Jehovah is my strength and song. He also has become my salvation."

This is so cool. Isaiah is continuing to affirm who God is. Behold - Look - I declare this that God, the Mighty One, is my salvation. My deliverer. My victory. No one else. Nothing else. I am not relying on me. I am not relying on someone else. I am not relying on something else. Not me, not the President, not Wall Street, not Congress. GOD alone is my deliverer, my victory, my Savior. I will trust and be confident and I will not fear. I will not tremble. I will not be in dread. All of the world could be going crazy. The whole financial structure may fall down around us, but GOD is my salvation. I will not fear. Why? The Lord Jehovah- Yahh Yehova. Why did he use God's name twice? For emphasis. To nail this truth down. Yes, GOD, GOD is my strength. He is my might. Both physically and socially and emotionally and spiritually. When I begin to falter, God is my strength and in the middle of all of the garbage, get this, He is my song of praise. I can make music even though Assyria is nailing Judah. I can make music even though my 401K is going in the dumper. I know what the future holds. (Look at Is. 11:1-10) We know the end game. He will truly restore. God is my salvation. God is my strength. God is my song.

And then one more time: He is my salvation. It is interesting it says He also has become, or He is becoming my salvation. He is my salvation in the present and He is my salvation in the future. He will always be my Deliverer. He will always be my victory. Don't count on anything else. It is all God.

What a shot in the arm for what we as believers may see in the near future. God has it all under control. God is in charge. Behold...Look...God - Jehovah - The LORD is my (our) salvation, now and forever. We will sing. We will have strength. We will not fear. Praise GOD!

(A footnote for those who don't know Jesus...He alone is your salvation. The sooner everyone realizes this the better. He is the only One you can count on for now and eternity. Believe it.)
