In this verse from Isaiah, we have a hymn of salvation in response to God's promises of a Messiah. Today, we will look at each phrase in the verse, which is full of practical applications for our lives today.
The verse begins, Behold! God is my salvation. Do you ever meditate on the fact that God Himself has saved you from all wrongdoing? If not, take a moment to think about that now. God is a perfect being, fully complete and holy just as He is. We humans were sinners, unworthy of God and unable to know Him. Jesus came, paid the price for our sin, and saved us once and for all.
Because God is our salvation, we are able to trust in Him and not be afraid. The Lord demonstrated His love for us when He died on the cross, enduring death so that we could be free. He proved Himself trustworthy … once and for all.

Because we can trust the Lord, we do not have to be afraid. Nothing that happens in our lives will ever change the fact that God is good.
This morning's verse also says the Lord is our strength. He is near to us in all circumstances. When we are discouraged or upset, we can call on Him to help us. He will strengthen us when life is difficult, and He will always be there for us even when no one else is.
Finally, the Lord is our song … and He gives us plenty of reasons to sing. His faithfulness, love, and goodness are among them, and the greatest of all is the matchless and eternal life that He has given you and me.
