Isaiah 12:2  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.

Are you able to say this verse without hesitance or doubt? What is Isaiah trying to communicate to us through these words? The verse reveals Isaiah’s deep and unwavering relationship with his Lord and God Almighty, pointing out not only his faith but also the trust he places in God’s guidance. It is a reminder of the strength he found in belief and the courage to stand firm in his convictions, even in the face of adversity. This powerful message encourages us to reflect on our own faith and the ways in which we connect with the Lord. Let’s see what Isaiah is saying:

  • God is his salvation
  • He will trust God
  • He won’t be afraid of life’s circumstances
  • Almighty God is his strength when he is weak
  • Almighty God is his song of praise

Have you ever heard of moral inventory? It’s a valuable practice for believers to take a step back and evaluate their spiritual walk so they can catch bad habits early and grow in the Lord. Taking time for moral reflection allows believers to assess their actions, thoughts, and intentions. Read through the bullets above and thoughtfully evaluate your own relationship with the Lord, considering how your daily choices line up with your faith and how you can make meaningful adjustments to grow closer to Him and embrace His teachings in your life.

If you cannot relate to Isaiah, ask yourself why? If you are not 100% certain you would go to Heaven when you die, please follow this link where you can become certain without a shadow of a doubt!

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. ~Isaiah 12:2

In looking back on my entire life, I remember gifts given to me; but none so important than the gift of salvation from the Father. The born-again Christian has received the most blessed gift – eternal life in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ. That penalty that we greatly deserved was taken upon the Lord Himself, and we are no longer judged! Furthermore, we are no longer under condemnation (Romans 8:1). Our sins are no longer remembered but they are buried in the deepest sea. In fact, they are removed as far as the east is from the west! (Psa 103:12 and Micah 7:19) That alone should be enough to cause the Christian to rejoice, don’t you think? Sometimes I think that Christians forget just how much they have been rescued from.

The Lord tells us that we also can trust in Him to be with us during those difficult times. God never sleeps so He is always watchful of what happens to us.

~Psalm 121:3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

We have no need to be afraid of anything in our lives because the God who loves us, and never sleeps, is watching … waiting … diligently protecting us. We can rest in His care! 💙 We can be assured that the problems of the day will be handled by the Master and we can enjoy peaceful rest. In fact, this verse says our sleep will be sweet.

~Proverbs 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

God’s strength cannot be measured – after all, He is not a man! What better arms to rest in than those of the Lord’s?

~Psalm 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Serving the Lord, and resting in His care, will put a song in your heart!

~Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

What is it in your life that is keeping you from achieving rest in Him? Think about it, and jot down your answer(s). Then talk to the Lord about it. Since He never sleeps, and has counted the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30). Therefore, you are precious to Him and He cares about you! (1 Peter 5:7)
