Isaiah 12:1-6 Saying, Praying, and Singing Thanksgiving to the God of our Salvation

by

Verse 1 begins, “You will say in that day…”  So the preaching portion describes a predicted confession on the part of God’s people.  Much like the Psalms, this chapter in Isaiah is designed to be recreated in the experience of God’s people.  The content of what we say helps us understand how our salvation operates on a daily level.  The reasons why we say these things to God and about God remind us of all God has done for us in Christ.  It is fitting for redeemed people to sing praises for their redemption (cf. Exodus 15 and the song of Moses and Miriam).  The Gospel appears in this song as we explain how God turned away from His anger towards us so He could comfort us (cf. Isaiah 12:1).
