Words of Encouragement Scripture: Isaiah 12 1. Then you will say on that day, I will give thanks to You, O Lord,; for although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. 2. Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation, 3. Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. 4. And in that day you will say, Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the people; make them remember that His name is exalted. 5. Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; let this be known throughout all the earth. 6.

Meekness? he is meek and lowly in heart. Mercifulness? In him you will obtain it. Prayerfulness? It is His prime characteristic. There is no quality or grace of the soul which has not its well of supply in the divine Manhood of our Lord. 2. But we must draw. You have something to draw with, though not to the eye of man. Faith is the bucket, which we let down into the fullness of the divine supply. Not simply the general belief that God does answer prayer, but the specific and particular belief that God has answered the prayer for some special needed grace; and that it is yours. Believe that you have received. Do not look into the dripping bucket of your faith to see if you have received; dare to believe that you have received whether you get it or not; and go forth to use what you have, sure that in answer to your appeal you have all sufficiency in all things, that you may abound to every good work. 3. What joy! There is always joy in some new discovery and acquisition. And oh, the joy of realizing that all the wealth of Gods salvation is within our reach; that we may draw for ever without fear of exhaustion; that the Spirit and Bride invite us to end forevermore our thirst, our disquiet, our weary quest.
