Isa 62:11
Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end
of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold,
The Lord's people may be now sorely tried and
often cast down; but the present is the worst state they will
ever be in; they are hasting to the day of God, which is
to them the day of deliverance.
Their salvation is on the road; they will soon be freed from all disease,
from which they now suffer; from all sin, under which they are now groan; from all foes, of whom they are now afraid; and from all cares and troubles, with which
they are now burdened.
Beloved, why are you so fearful, and why do
you desponding thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold, your salvation cometh; behold His
reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
He will free you from all that pains you, and
raise you above all that you fear.
The time of deliverance is at hand, the year
of release is near, the trumpet of the Jubilee will soon be heard; our Saviour will arrive to lead us to our Father’s
house, to the mansions which He hath prepared for us, and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
Comfort one another with these words “Behold,
the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him!
O to be ready for His coming, to share in His
glorious triumphs!
Fearless to his presence fly;
Vine the merit of his blood,
Vine the righteousness of God!
Go, his triumphs to adore,
Made for God, to God return!
James Smith
