Link Isaiah 12:6 to Psalm 145:3.
Connect Isaiah 12:6 with another scripture emphasizing God's greatness and presence.

Setting the Scene

“Shout aloud and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 12:6)


The Echo in Zephaniah

“The LORD your God is among you, a mighty Savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17)


Shared Themes of Presence and Greatness

• God is “among you” (Isaiah 12:6; Zephaniah 3:17).

• His greatness is not distant—He is “great among you,” “a mighty Savior.”

• Both prophets call for loud, joyful response because God Himself is in the midst of His people.


Tracing the Thread Through Scripture

Exodus 25:8—God commands a sanctuary “that I may dwell among them.”

Psalm 46:1—“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

Matthew 1:23—Jesus is called “Immanuel,” meaning “God with us.”

Revelation 21:3—“Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.”


Why This Matters Today

• Confidence: God’s literal presence guarantees strength in every circumstance.

• Worship: Knowing He is “great among” us fuels heartfelt, vocal praise.

• Assurance: The same Holy One of Israel who indwelt Zion now indwells believers by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16).

• Mission: A God who is present and mighty invites His people to live boldly, reflect His greatness, and spread the joy of His nearness.

How can we apply the call to 'shout aloud' in our daily lives?
