This explains why God’s promises have a special meaning for us. Why is it that we can take a promise from God and expect Him to fulfill it for us? It is because we have trusted in Christ as our Savior. When we come to God expecting Him to do for us what He has promised, we don’t put our confidence in what we have done, but in what Jesus has done for us. We approach God in the name of Jesus, and we can remind God of His promise to us in the same way – in the name of Jesus. If we are truly trusting in Jesus, God’s answer will be “Yes” according to the promise of this verse.

“In that day they will say, “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.” Isaiah 25:9 (NIV)
Although the primary application of this prediction may be for the people of Israel who would trust in their Lord, we believe that it can apply to us, too. When we do trust in Him He proves faithful to His promise. As we realize that He does come to help us, we recognize Him as our God. We trust in our Lord for the salvation from sin that He offers. When He saves us we learn to acknowledge Him to be the One He claims to be. Does not this give us true joy? Recognize today that “He is the Lord” and rejoice in His salvation.
