Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.” Isaiah 12:2-6

“I will trust and not be afraid.” Powerful words from the Prophet Isaiah and yet it is our call, to trust in God with all our hearts and not be afraid. 

During our adult formation class on angels, we’ve been talking about how God sends angels to minister to us, to help us, to guide us and to protect us.  Sometimes we do not even know an angel was present, yet God sent one in our time of need.

Bad things will happen in life, we live in a fallen world, yet have trust in God and then give God the glory when the good things happen.

As you travel through this second week of Advent, take some time, give God some glory, and with joy, draw water from the wells of salvation for God is good.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
