To begin our worship today, we have been given:
“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.”
This year I am studying the book of Job. Job lived before the revelation of the Gospel. His struggle is best heard in:
If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together,
But our verse today is not about the advent of the Gospel. Nor is it about the time when we came to personal faith in that Gospel. Rather it is about a specific day, called “that day”:
The LORD Is My Strength and My Song
You will say in that day:
“I will give thanks to you, O LORD,
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.
It is about the day of wrath, on which the wicked are destroyed and the remnant is preserved (Read Isaiah 11 to enjoy the experience).
But to start our worship today, understand this — that we too are wicked, deserving of that same wrath. But on that day the wrath will be turned away.
