Isaiah 12

The last verse of this chapter is a call for top of your lungs singing with joy to God. Our joy should not come because of his greatness, or his awesomeness, or his salvation, or even his provisions. Isaiah shares a truth that should build us up with joy that is overflowing regarding the one truth that no other deity can ever claim; he is in our midst. Pagan gods demand that their subjects come to them, but our great, awesome, saving, and providing God comes to us.  He doesn't wait for his people to reach out to him. He draws near just to be with us. That desire for human intatmacy, even with those who are fallen in rebellion, is what draws him to us and should lead us to reciprocate. Oh the joy of knowing Yahweh!!!
It took me less than 2 minutes to read this chapter.
