Psalm 40:2 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.
David speaks as one who is wounded by the problems and burdens of life. But God reached out to him, even in that horrible time, and extended His tenderness.
Being a lost sinner is like being in a horrible pit, while the enemy of the soul, Satan, howls against us — mocking, taunting and condemning.
Thank God for the tender hand of the Lord Jesus that reached out to touch us in our wounded condition.
When we picked up the broken pieces of our lives and laid them at the feet of Jesus, He didn’t turn us away.
When we needed Him most He took us in, bound up our wounds and gave us rest. Thank God for Salvation!
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
