The Word with David Platt is a resource

0:02

from .net you

0:11

will draw water from the wells

0:13

of salvation. Make

0:21

known his deeds among all

0:23

the peoples. Sing

0:27

praises to the Lord for he

0:29

has done gloriously. Let this

0:31

be made known in all the

0:33

earth. Shout and sing for joy,

0:35

O inhabitant of Zion, for great

0:37

in your midst is the Holy

0:39

One of Israel." Oh, I love

0:42

this passage. Just a short chapter

0:44

in Isaiah. Many of the

0:46

chapters in Isaiah are really long

0:48

and here you've got six

0:50

verses about how God is.

0:53

our song and our salvation

0:55

and I love verse

0:57

three with joy you will

0:59

draw water from the wells

1:01

of salvation just think

1:03

about that imagery today just

1:05

like every day in

1:07

Isaiah's day people would draw

1:09

water from a well

1:11

today you have a well

1:13

to draw from the water

1:16

of salvation you

1:18

have been saved from

1:20

sin by God, assuming you

1:22

have trusted in Jesus. So

1:25

drink deeply today from his

1:27

love in your life, his forgiveness

1:29

of your sins, his grace

1:31

towards you, his mercy that meets

1:33

you new this morning. Drink

1:35

from his mercy, the strength that

1:37

he promises for you, the

1:39

joy that he gives you. This

1:41

is the well you and

1:44

I get to draw water from

1:46

every single day in ways

1:48

that lead us to give Thanks to God

1:50

and to call upon God for help

1:52

and all the ways we need it.

1:54

That's verse four. You will say in

1:56

that day, give thanks to the Lord. call

1:59

upon his name. So

2:01

yes, in a first Thessalonians

2:03

five kind of way, be thankful

2:05

in all circumstances, like live

2:08

today, giving thanks and calling out

2:10

to God all throughout the

2:12

day for things you need, for

2:14

things others need. As you

2:16

drink from the water, the well

2:18

of salvation in your life,

2:20

Give thanks to God, call on

2:22

His name, and, verse 4,

2:24

make known His deeds among the

2:26

peoples. Proclaim that His

2:28

name is exalted. Here's the

2:30

two words that I have when I kind

2:32

of put all this together. Enjoy and

2:34

exalt. This is what you're made

2:36

to do today. Enjoy

2:39

God. You have

2:41

relationship with God. Drink

2:43

deeply from the well

2:45

of relationship with God that

2:47

you have to date.

2:50

enjoy and exalt live today

2:52

to Exalt his name

2:54

among all the people around

2:56

you and proclaim that his

2:58

name is exalted tell people

3:00

about the Water you're

3:02

drinking from the well of

3:04

salvation you enjoy and

3:06

don't stop live every day toward

3:08

this end until all the

3:10

peoples all the nations of

3:12

the earth. That's verse five.

3:14

Let this be made known

3:16

in all the earth. That

3:19

enjoyment with God

3:21

is available to anyone,

3:24

anywhere, everyone, everywhere. Oh

3:26

God, we pray in

3:28

light of Isaiah 12,

3:31

3:38

3:55

in you peace in you

3:57

Everything that flows from

3:59

you God we want to draw water

4:02

from the well of

4:04

the depth of who you

4:06

are, of the salvation

4:08

you've made possible for us,

4:10

reconciliation to you, relationship

4:12

with you. God, help us

4:14

to live just drinking

4:16

all day long from this

4:19

well and to exalt

4:21

you. God, we pray that

4:23

you'd help us to serve

4:25

others today. Help us to encourage

4:27

others with our words, to point

4:29

them to you, to who you

4:31

are, to how much you love

4:33

them, to the well that

4:35

they can drink from. Help

4:38

us to encourage brothers and sisters

4:40

in Christ with the well

4:42

that is theirs in Jesus. And

4:44

God, we pray almost like

4:46

we're in a desert surrounded by

4:48

people who don't know where

4:50

the water is and we know

4:53

where the water is. Just

4:55

think about when I was growing

4:57

up and somebody told me,

4:59

David, don't commit the sin of

5:01

the desert. knowing where the

5:03

water is and not telling anyone

5:05

to find it. God keep

5:07

us from this sin today. Help

5:10

us to tell people where

5:12

the water is that they can

5:15

drink from. Use us to

5:17

lead people to the well of

5:19

your salvation today. God help

5:21

us not to be afraid. Help

5:23

us to be bold with

5:25

the gospel today. And

5:27

God we pray for all

5:30

the peoples of the earth.

5:32

all the earth to be

5:34

reached with the good news

5:36

of the well of your

5:38

salvation. We pray specifically today

5:40

for the Saninke people of

5:42

Mali, Senegal. God,

5:45

we pray please for

5:47

this people group of over

5:49

three million men, women

5:51

and children. May the Saninke

5:54

in West Africa be

5:56

reached with the well of

5:58

salvation. that is in

6:00

you. We pray for that, oh

6:02

God. All of this in light of your

6:04

word Isaiah chapter 12 verses

6:06

3 through 6, which we

6:09

love. In Jesus' name we

6:11

pray. Amen. Amen.
