Rejoice in Awaited Salvation


Isaiah 25:1, 8-9  
O Lord, You are my God.  I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.   9 He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.   9 And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

God is truly worthy of praise to tell Him we understand and agree that He is and does wonderful things, in truth and faithfulness we can absolutely rely on.  He has swallowed death, defeating it forever with the promise to take away all our sorrow in the end in His presence.  No longer will the world attack those of us who are His, therefore we have unbounded joy in the deliverance (salvation) from sin, death, and hell in Jesus Christ!
