God's Tug - In the Midst of Praise

In the Midst of Praise

May 1, 2011

^1”In that day you will say:

     Although you were angry with me,

your anger has turned away

     and you have comforted me.

²Surely God is my salvation:

     I will trust and not be afraid.

The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and

     my song;

He will become my salvation.”

³With joy you will draw water

      from the wells of salvation.

⁴In that day you will say:

Give thanks to the Lord, call on his

      name;

make known among the nations what he

      has done,

and proclaim that his name is exalted.

⁵Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious

     things;

let this be known to all the world.

⁵Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of

     Zion,

for great is the Holy one of Israel

     among us.

Isaiah 12:1-6

I couldn’t help but include this whole chapter, maybe the shortest in the book of Isaiah. Yesterday when I was feeling down, and asked God to help me find something in the Bible that would help me, this is the first verse to which I opened.

After that, I thought, well, what’s the best praise song I know, and the Doxology came to mind. So, I sang it until I felt better.

Tonight’s God’s Tug will be short, since this was a lesson I’ve learned in the past and I have a feeling God will teach it to me until I know it by heart.

I’ve become somewhat lax about posting God’s Tug – I apologize for that. Not just for the fact that others (many I don’t know) receive courage and inspiration from it, but also because God has directed me to do these writings.(and we all know what happened to Jonah when he ignored God)  ;~D

God’s blessings upon you, your family, and your furkids (if you have any).
