Unable to help himself, King David was forced to wait on the Lord.
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 helpless times in our lives, but none can compare to that time we spent lost in sin.
Can you remember the day it became clear to you that you were a lost sinner living under the wrath of a holy God, Eph. 2:1-3?
Thank God, even in that terrible time of waiting, God loved us, heard us and lifted us out of the sin pit by His power and His grace when we believed, Eph. 2:4-6!
Where before there was bitterness, darkness and hopeless; there is joy, light and peace.
This change in the heart produces a change in the attitude and will put a song on our lips. Why? What’s in the heart will always work its way out of the mouth, Matt. 15:18-19.
While we have breath in our bodies, we ought to lift our voices and exalt the name of Jesus for what He did in each of our lives.
