Vindication and celebration! - Ruminating in the Word of God

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Isaiah 25:9,

"Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."

Here is what will be exclaimed on the day when the Lord's people extol him and celebrate their vindication for placing their faith in him. God's people place their faith in him and experience in a very practical way that he does not disappoint.

This celebration and these acknowledgments proclaimed by God's people will come on the day when they have inherited eternal life, when they have been freed from God's judgment (because of the payment for sin Jesus deposited in their account with the Father), when they experience freedom from illness and infirmity, when they find all sin eradicated (don't have to lock the doors anymore...), when they find true happiness and fulfillment in the life their Creator designed them for, when all tears are wiped away, when God "will remove his people's disgrace from all the earth."

That day approaches! Although we may face heavy weather ahead, although we may have many struggles, challenges and difficulties in this life, that day is coming when we will all celebrate the reward our Creator has for those who trust in him! That day is coming when we feast on the abundance of God's house, when we drink from river of his delights, Psalm 36:8. That day is coming when we will be filled with joy in his presence, when we will be filled with eternal pleasures at the right hand of the Lord, Psalm 16:11.

That day is coming and on that day we will celebrate our loving Lord and our vindication for trusting in him!
