The promise of God’s deliverance, echoed in Isaiah’s song, finds its ultimate fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ. Through Him, we receive salvation, comfort, and hope, inspiring songs of gratitude and praise from grateful hearts.
This Advent, let’s echo Isaiah’s hymn of thanksgiving, rejoicing in the gift of God’s salvation through Christ. May our hearts overflow with gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, recognizing His immeasurable love and grace.
2 Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense[a];
he has become my salvation.”
3 With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.4 In that day you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
Isaiah 12:2-6
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
