Wait Patiently

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." Have you ever been in a pit where nothing seems to be going right? It may feel like you have fallen into a hole full of sin and temptation. You have tried to pull yourself out, only to find yourself deeper in this miry clay. Just like quicksand sin pulls us down.  The more we participate in it, the more it swallows us up. If you're in a pit of sin, lies, and temptation begin to cry out to the Lord. He is the only one that can pull us from this miry clay. Cry out for Help, and He will hear you. Be still and wait patiently for the Lord. He is our Redeemer, and is on His way. He will place you on the Rock of salvation, a firm place of strength. v:3."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." He will replace the cry for help with a new song of praise to God. Many who have seen the previous state you were in will be amazed, and begin to fear and trust in the Lord themselves. Give our Redeemer Praise today.
