September 21 Morning: "The Lord was ready to save me" - Isa 38:20

"O LORD, I AM OPPRESSED; UNDERTAKE FOR ME." The response from the Lord brought forth songs of praise and worship, the testimony of a good man who had been in great danger. His heart was full of fears, and he had given up all for lost; but now he has 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 every trouble. The Lord has saved us, and He will save us even to the end. He has power and authority and He will use 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 for the future? Let us in every danger cry unto God to save us; wait upon Him in humble hope for His blessing; banish carnal and faithless fears far away; refuse to listen to Satan, feeling, or unbelief; persevere in seeking until we obtain and enjoy His blessing. The Lord is ever ready to save us. Let us believe, receive with joy and be glad in the Lord. He will save and enfold us in His love, and joy over us with everlasting song.

For Meditation:
Salvation from God will I publish abroad,
Jehovah hath saved me through Jesus' blood;
The Lamb was once slain, but He liveth again,
And I know my Jesus for ever shall reign;
Then filled with His love, in the mansions above,
I shall never, no never, from Jesus remove.
