Sing for Joy

September 29 2024

Book: Isaiah

Scripture: Isaiah 12:1-6

Anyone who meets with God through the gospel inevitably finds a life-shaping, life-altering joy bubbling in their soul. Many scholars rightly see this passage as the conclusion of Isaiah’s call before the glorious Lord, which began in 6:1-8. In this hymn of joyful praise, Isaiah sings of the salvation he has experienced. The theme is joy: joy in who God is (v2) and in what God has done (v5).
