The Day of Salvation

Isaiah 12:1-6
(1) You will say in that day: "I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me.
(2) "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation."
(3) With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
(4) And you will say in that day: "Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.
(5) "Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.
(6) Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel."

There is a lot of work done these days to save the world. Some think that we are ruining it with our carbon emissions. Some think that we really need to tear down industry and simplify so as to stop spoiling it. I am all for preserving nature when possible, but I don't think that turning back the clock makes much sense.

This passage tells us what real salvation looks like. There will be a day when Christ rules on the earth. I'm not going to get into any millenial debates, but I do know that Christ will reign victoriously someday. That will be a glorious day for those who love Him.

The question is -- are you one of those people? If you don't want for Him to be your Lord now why would you want for Him to be your Lord for eternity? He alone is worthy of all our praise and honor. Let's give Him what He is due now.
