And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, GOD is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His Name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. (Isaiah 12:1-6)
Our GOD is indeed an awesome GOD. We praise His Name for our Salvation. We thank Him for all His benefits; for the love and care He gives to His creation, despite the fact that it is broken by sIn; for the grace and peace that He gives to us that know Jesus Christ by faith; for the blessings He gives to His children, not because they deserve it, but because He loves us; and for the promise of Heaven and residence with GOD Himself.
We lift up the Name of Jesus: He is Holy, exalted, eternal GOD who became man for our sakes. We shout to the Lord and proclaim all His Goodness for He has redeemed us unworthy sinners and made us to sit in heavenly places. We don't exalt ourselves, for we are unable to save ourselves, nor can we make ourselves holy before GOD. We don't praise ourselves, for without Him we are nothing and can do nothing.
Without a relationship with GOD the father, through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary, and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit; we are lost sinners, most miserable and without hope in this world. That is why Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD; who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life; who loves us so much that He stepped out of Heaven, humbled Himself and became a man and took our place and our sIn.
If you don't have that relationship, and that assurance and forgiveness of your sIns; GOD, who is not willing that any should perish, calls you to repent: to surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Not of the flesh, or of anything we can do; but from above, by the grace of GOD. Believe His Word, and receive Him by faith today.
If you are one of His, praise His Name and proclaim His works to the children of men that they might be saved.
In Christ,
