POWER

"I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord."
-Psalm 40:1-3


This verse is conveying God's power. He can do anything. He can save you from anything. 


Waiting. It's really hard to wait, but God comes when the time is best. You might find now the best, but sometimes that's not the case. When you wait patiently, you will see God. He can hear your cries and prayers.


You might think you're in a hole far too deep to get out of, but God can get you out. He can lift you out, "of the pit of despair, out of the mud and mire." All that dirty sin you've found yourself in, yeah, God can get you out of that.

Once he has lifted you out of that pit, he will set your, "feet on solid ground." He'll put you back in a good place. He won't just set you there on that solid ground, but he will steady you as you walk along. He will guide you until he feels you're ready to go along. 


After this pit you've been through is gone, God will give you joy. You made it out of this thing you never thought you could get out of. You will rejoice because he has saved you (probably for the 1000th time). You will be overjoyed that God has saved you despite what you have done. You are forgiven and you now have a new start.


If you tell others about this thing God has done to save you, they will be amazed. This could also help you share Christ. It could give others hope. 


The Lord can get you through anything. He is powerful and all mighty. You might find something impossible to get out of, but God can get you through it. It may take some waiting, but He will be there.
