God's Wrath Turned Away!

This morning my soul jumped for joy as I read again the wondrous text from Isaiah 12.

"I will give thanks to you, O Lord,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.
Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation."

These words of promise to the Jewish nation remind me of Paul's words to the Church -

"Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More that that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation" (Romans 5:9-11)

Oh may I never grow weary of this wonderful news - may my lips not cease in giving God thanks for such a wonderful salvation!
