Out Of The Miry Clay

Psalm 40:1-3  I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it and fear and shall trust in the Lord .

We have all experienced those helpless times in our lives when we were  unable to help ourselves and was forced to wait on the Lord,  but none can compare to that time we spent lost in sin.

Can you remember that day when the Lord of glory “bent down” to hear your cry?  The God of Heaven reached down farther than you could reach up?

When the saint is delivered from his horrible pit of sin and set upon that Rock, something changes inside.  Where before there was bitterness, darkness and hopelessness; there is joy, light and peace.  This change in the heart produces a change in the attitude.  This change in the heart will put a song on the lips. This transformation will always work its way out of the mouth.

Jesus is worthy of our praise.
