"He also brought me up
out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and
established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth- Praise to our God;
many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord." -Psalm 40:2-3
I read this verse
and am totally struck by the goodness of God. David is writing this Psalm, from
a place of experiencing the deliverance of the Lord and I think it is a great
reminder that God is ready and able to do the same for us all.
So let’s break it
down…
“He
also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay”, this is the
grace of God. Whatever your “horrible pit”, whatever your “miry clay”, the Lord
knows where you are at and there is no place that He is unwilling to go to
extend His hand of grace to you, pull you out, and draw you into Himself. Ahh,
He is GOOD.
“and
set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.”, this is the salvation of
God. He pulls us out of the mess we are in AND sets us on a firm
foundation..His firm foundation..His rock of love and security. He is our
salvation. He alone, will establish our steps, if only we surrender everything
to Him and let Him be our rescue! He is GOOD!
“He
has put a new song in my mouth- Praise to out God; many will see it and fear,
and will trust in the Lord.” Oh sweet redemption. Not only is the Lord ready to
pull us out of our mess, rescue us and be our salvation, but He is also ready
to put a NEW song in our mouths. He is ready to redeem our hearts, to fill us a
fresh with a NEW spirit, and NEW attitude, a NEW way to praise His name. Oh
man, HE IS GOOD TO US!
I hope you are all
encourage today by these verses and reminded of the goodness and love that God
has for us.
Happy Friday, friends!
Sincerely,
Kaity

ReplyDeleteMan that hit me like a bullet in the gut. Like a friend standing by another who's stuck waist-up in mud, He doesn't give us a rope. He actually jumps in.
