Psalm 40:1-3
As I read these verses the other morning I was reminded, not only of the U2 song from this Psalm, but of the goodness of God in my own life. Think about it- He
1."inclined" i.e. turned toward me,
2.heard my cry,
3.lifted me out of the pit of destruction,
4.out of the miry clay,
5.set my feet upon a rock,
6.made my footsteps firm,
7.put a new song in my mouth....
When I think about all these, specifics in my life come to mind with virtually each one of them. I have been rescued & saved from so much. Whenever I think about how difficult, heart-breaking, unfair, and stressful life can be at times, I am reminded of two things-
1. where He has brought me from;
2. where I'd be without Him.
Verse 4 sums it all up- "How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust,..."
I among men, am truly blessed. May I never forget it.
