This chapter is a hymn of praise and a powerful prophetic description of the joy which will fill people’s hearts when Jesus Christ comes to reign over the earth.
Today we believers need to express our gratitude to God, giving thanks and praising Him, and telling others about Him.
I encourage you, whatever trials and challenges you face today. God goes before you to make a way for you.
As Isaiah told us, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”
Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
The truth is, you already have the victory through Christ who is your strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
Things may not pan out just as you want or expected, but God’s plans and purposes will always prosper. He causes all things to work together for those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28), including your impossible situation that you are facing today.
My beloved, this earth has become a scary place to live.
Of late we have experienced man made pestilence, restrictions and controls like never before. Our financial systems are collapsing, as are our health systems; world war looms over us and moral standards are diminishing all over the world, and more is on it’s way.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10:10 NKJV
The devil came to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, and knowing his time is short, he is frustrated and determined to cause as much pain as he possibly can before he is thrown into the abyss (REVELATION 20:1-3).
But the truth is, you who stand firmly on the promises of God, “In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:14-17 NKJV
Therefore, do not allow the devil to open doors to fear in your life and bring anxieties and depression, sickness, and addictions, and all kinds of troubles upon your life as this world becomes a darker and more difficult place to live.
But rather take Paul’s advice; “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7 NKJV
Jesus came to give you life, and that you may have it more abundantly.
“”Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV
My brethren , whatever your troubles of today or indeed the darkness we face tomorrow, put your trust in God; you are safe in His hands. “And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. 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.’ ” Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: “Praise the Lord, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, For He has done excellent things; This is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!””
Isaiah 12:1-6 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever Amen.
