Isaiah chapter 12, verses 3 through 6.

With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

And you will say in that day, give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name. Make known his deeds among all the peoples. Proclaim

that his name is exalted. Sing praises to the Lord for he has done gloriously. Let this be

made known in all the earth. Shout and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Oh, I love this passage.

Just a short chapter in Isaiah, many of the chapters

in Isaiah are really long.

And here you've got six verses about how God is our song and our salvation and I love verse three with joy you

will draw water from the wells of salvation just think about that imagery today just

like every day in Isaiah's day people would draw water from a well.

Today you have a well to draw from the water of salvation.

You have been saved from sin by God, assuming you have trusted in Jesus.

So drink deeply today from his love in your life, his forgiveness of your sins,

his grace towards you, his mercy that meets you new this morning, drink from his mercy,

the strength that he promises for you, the joy that he gives you. This is the well. You and I get to draw water from every single day

in ways that lead us to give thanks to God and to call upon God for help and all the ways we need it.

That's verse four. You will say in that day give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name. So yes, in a First Thessalonians five

kind of way, be thankful in all circumstances like live today, giving thanks and calling out to God

all throughout the day for things you need, for things others need. As you drink from the water,

the well of salvation in your life, give thanks
