Back to Psalms today.
Psalm 40:1-3 (NIV)
1I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.2He 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.3He 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.
Ever have the experience of the Psalmist? Crushed by your sin, crying out to God… having Him answer your prayer and change your outlook overnight?
It’s awesome how God does that. We tend to go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows… and back again. The fall is pretty clearly something we do ourselves… but the rise? All God.
Are you in that place right now? Knowing your sin, feeling completely isolated from God… hurting deeply? God’s waiting for you to cry out to Him. He longs to restore you and give you peace… to give you a new song to sing… one of praise for the Savior who rescues and restores us.
