July 27 - Isaiah 12 · A Chapter a Day Bible Reading

• 0:11
  Hello friends, it's Sean. Here it is a Thursday and you
• 0:17
  tap play. So here I am and you and I are
• 0:20
  going to read a chapter of the Bible.
• 0:22
  And today we read a very short chapter.
• 0:26
  It's a little unfair. Hi Desire is a heavy book, isn't
• 0:29
  it? There is lots of judgment about
• 0:32
  all the things that Israel has done wrong and is going to do
• 0:35
  wrong, and unfortunately what the consequences are for that.
• 0:38
  But then these beautiful chapters of hope and promise
• 0:42
  come, and today is one of those. This is a song of praise that
• 0:49
  they will sing on that day when things go well for them when
• 0:52
  they are rescued. And the reason I say it's unfair
• 0:55
  is this is such a lovely song, but it's quite brief compared to
• 0:59
  the oracles of judgment. It's not unfair, it's just it's
• 1:04
  just the way it is. And the beauty of being a
• 1:07
  prophet is when you prophesy, you don't have to prophesy
• 1:10
  telling the story in chronological order of how
• 1:13
  things are going to play out. So he Isaiah, gets to prophesy
• 1:18
  this song of salvation, of praise for all that God's people
• 1:23
  will want to sing on the day that they're saved by their
• 1:26
  savior. And well, if you are Jewish,
• 1:29
  you're still waiting for that day.
• 1:31
  So they have not yet sung this song.
• 1:33
  You know what that means? It means that this is our song.
• 1:36
  This is a song for you and for me to sing today, to be grateful
• 1:42
  for the salvation that we have. So let us sing this ancient song
• 1:46
  of praise together in Isaiah chapter 12.
• 1:59
  In that day you will sing. I will praise you, O Lord.
• 2:05
  You were angry with me, but not any more.
• 2:09
  Now you comfort me. See, God has come to save me.
• 2:15
  I will trust in him and not be afraid.
• 2:19
  The Lord God is my strength and my song.
• 2:22
  He has given me victory with joy.
• 2:26
  He will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation.
• 2:30
  In that wonderful day. You will sing, thank the Lord,
• 2:34
  praise His name, tell the nations what He has done.
• 2:39
  Let them know how mighty He is. Sing to the Lord, for he has
• 2:43
  done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the
• 2:48
  world. Let all the people of Jerusalem
• 2:52
  shout His praise with joy, for great is the Holy One of Israel
• 2:59
  who lives among you. Well, Lord, this song says it
• 3:15
  all. What is there left to pray?
• 3:18
  We drink deeply from the phantom of salvation, and we sing to
• 3:24
  thank you and to praise you. You truly have saved us.
• 3:30
  No matter what challenges we face today, you are victorious
• 3:34
  over them because you have defeated death and every
• 3:38
  challenge this life has for us in Jesus, and you have forged a
• 3:45
  way for us to come and live with you in eternity.
• 3:51
  Oh, we are so grateful for everything that you have won for
• 3:54
  us, our mighty God and our Redeemer.
• 3:59
  Ah, we love you and we celebrate all that you have done for us.
• 4:05
  In the name of Jesus. Amen.
