Daily devotion: Wells Of Salvation - Isaiah 12:2-3

painting1

Isaiah 12:2-3 – 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.

On the way to Jerusalem from Galilee, Jesus once stopped at a well in Samaria.  After speaking with the woman at the well, the Savior revealed to the woman that though she might dip earthly water from that well, He could give her living water that would spring up within her unto eternal life.  Of course she asked for this living water. (John 4:5-43) She had found the well promised in Isaiah, or rather He had found her.

The well of salvation found in Jesus remains the source of salvation and eternal life today.  We can rejoice with Isaiah for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song and your strength and your song as well.  In Jesus, God has not only someone who saves me, but He has become the very means of my salvation.  His life was given for your life and mine.  His righteousness was imputed for your sins and mine.

Because of Jesus, we can draw water out of the wells of salvation with joy in our hearts.  So grab a cup and drink deeply.

Daily Devotion: Enter With Thanksgiving - Psalm 100:1-5

One of the most beautiful Psalms of Thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. Please turn to it and read verses one through five. With all my heart I believe we are a people and a nation that has truly been blessed by God. Of all those who “give thanks to Him and praise His name” we should be at the top!  It is not uncommon to compile wish lists at Christmas, and draw up a list of resolutions for the new year. But there is another list we often overlook - a Thanksgiving Day list of all for which we are thankful. What would your list contain? Most likely, a good part would be material possessions. I’m convinced that we would find that we have much more for which to be thankful than just our material possessions.  Like you, I’m sure my list would include the major things - life, health, family, friends, and the nation we live in, despite all its flaws. But even more than that, I’m thankful for my salvation, my Church family, and the mercy that God showers upon us each d...

Daily Devotion: Psalm 100:4-5 - Thanksgiving

Psalm 100:4-5     "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  (5)  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." Many songs have been written about these verses and with these words included. What do they mean? Today, we celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. I've listened to many people speak about their family traditions and most of them include family, food, and football. These are wonderful and fun things that enrich the day, but is it the true meaning that was intended when the day was established?  The Psalmist instructed us to include a special action with our words of thankfulness.  We are to "enter into HIS gates." The heartfelt words of thanksgiving allow us to enter the gates of the Lord, but there is a much deeper place into which we can go. Not only are we to enter into HIS gates, but He invites us to come much closer to H...
