Isaiah chapter 12 verses 3 through 6.

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation

and you will say in that day give thanks to the Lord. water from the wells of salvation.

And you will say in that day, give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name, make known

his deeds among the peoples, and proclaim that His name is exalted.

Sing praise us to the Lord, for he has done gloriously.

Let this be made known in all the earth.

Shout and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the holy one of Israel.

I love these verses. Did you catch the scene? God saying there's coming a day.

This is to his people amidst their struggles and amidst their struggles

specifically because of their sin.

He says one day you're going to draw water from the

wells of salvation with joy. And you're going to say in that day give thanks to God, call on his name, make his deeds

known among all the peoples proclaim, his name is exalted, sing praises to him for he has done gloriously shout sing for joy and as I read

those verses I think that is the Christian life every day this is the life you and I can live every day. This is why I would say from

the beginning of your day it is important to rise and be with God and draw water from the

never-ending well of salvation to with joy get alone with God.

Give thanks to him, call on him, sing praises to him, and then, yes, to pray for things in your life, to go into your day

with this perspective, You have been saved by God. You are a child of God. You call

upon his name and he listens to you.

You have the privilege every single day and all day long of drawing water
