Isaiah 12:2–3

THE WELLS OF SALVATION

Isaiah 12:2-3. “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. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

THE WELLS OF SALVATION. The wells are nearby, they have been there for years. The clear, living water waits for all to draw near And drink from its flow that gives everlasting life. The Lord now lives among His own, they are done with the night.

From those wells come faith; a true and implicit trust. God is there with His salvation freely giving it to us. True faith in Him changes everything, we don't trust in circumstances. From the wells of salvation comes the truth that our thirst quenches.

No longer do we tremble and fear when trials come at length. From the wells of salvation comes divinely imparted strength. Though foes or difficulties come to attack or harass me - The waters from the wells of salvation show me the Lord my strength will be.

From those springing waters, a song of God's grace I learn - That grace is greater than my sin, it is not something I can earn. In the depths of those waters are found many attributes of God. When I drink from the wells of salvation, I have fellowship with the Lord.

After drinking from those waters, and calling upon His name - There is a joy that accompanies those who to those wells came. Praise that starts within the heart, glorifies the Lord - And my voice is raised to declare His grace to those yet in the world.

The wells tell of His Person and declare His works; identify His truth - Speak of His name with holy awe; proclaim His matchless worth. We point out to those who will listen and look at evidence on every hand - Of the Lord's greatness and His power that can be seen in every land.

From the wells of salvation there comes, flowing freely to all who will drink - More than we could ever need; exceeding all we could ask or think - Of the abundant supply of life-giving water, as full as God Himself. The blessings that come from the wells of salvation are more than I can tell.

“O Gracious Father, I ask of Thee this morning that I can be prepared to pass on Thy Word in and understandable way to those young people who are coming to the Gospel meetings. For some reason they have not been able to lay hold on salvation. Is there something I have been overlooking or something I have said that has misled them? Help me to be ready this day for what will arise. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
