THE LORD WAS READY TO SAVE ME.

Isaiah 38:20  

The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will

 sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days

 of our life in the house of the LORD. 

 

The Lord was ready to save me
 
This is the testimony of a good man who had been in great danger.
 
His heart was full of fears, and he gave up all for lost; but now he is recovered, and stands forth to acknowledge his mistake, and bear witness to this pleasing fact, that the Lord is ever ready to save His people in the time of trouble.
 
The Lord hath saved us, He will save us even to the end.
 
He has power, and He will exert it; He has authority, and He will employ him it; He has sympathy, and He will manifest it.
 
He is a Saviour at hand and not afar off.
 
He is ready and willing to deliver.
 
Has he not proved Himself so in our past experience, and ought we not to trust Him in the future?
 
Let us in every danger cry unto God to save us;
wait upon Him in humble hope for the blessing;
banish carnal and unscriptural fears far away;
refuse to listen to Satan, sense, or unbelief;
persevere in seeking until we obtain and enjoy the blessing.
 

The Lord is ready to save us.

 
Let us believe, hope, prove, and be happy.
 
He will save, He will rest in His love, and joy over us with singing.
 

Salvation to God will I publish abroad,

Jehovah hath saved me through Jesus’s blood,

The lamb was once slain, but He liveth again.

And I with my Jesus for ever shall reign,

Then fill’d with His love, in the regions above,

I shall never, no never from Jesus remove.
