In a Pit?
Psalm 40:1-3‚ “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.”
Can you think of a time when God helped you out of a low place? Perhaps something had caused you to spiral downward, or maybe like the Old Testament character, Jonah, you had run away from God so as not to have to do what He was asking of you.
Through this passage, we see that David was experiencing this first-hand. He was in a place of despair, yet God was gracious, and after some time, placed David in a new area of service. In verses 1-3, David reflects back on the things God has done in his life. Since we so often get caught up in our present-day frustrations and stresses, and simply forget, it is good for us to also remember the Lord’s goodness.
Think of those moments God stepped in and delivered a seemingly impossible outcome or provided help or financial assistance from an unexpected person or place. Or, what about the blessings He has brought to you through your family, your job, your ministry?
There is certainly a lot to be thankful for. God is so good. When times become difficult, reflect back and see the hand of God’s blessing. He didn’t fail you then and He certainly won’t fail you moving forward. That is His promise to us.
So, let me ask you: What pit are you currently dwelling in or have come out of? And, how has God proven Himself faithful to you? I’d love to hear about it.
About Pathlight to Praise
Christians often speak of giving God praise for this or that, but for a person new to the faith or even a seasoned believer longing for encouragement during personal struggles, praise can seem like an overwhelming even unattainable task.
Yet, in the very last verse of Psalms we read, "...everything that has breath praise the LORD (Ps. 150:6)." Why? Because He is worthy!
Within the pages of this book, you will find 150 days' worth of devotions filled with God's unending love and care for His children. Though the various psalmists experienced fears, temptations, and strong emotions such as anger and betrayal, God proved that there is always something to be thankful for. He is forever worthy of our praise!
