Create in Me a Clean Heart: The 40-Day Challenge (Psalms)Sample

God Can Draw Us up from the Pit of Destruction

Psalm 40

When we are in deep pain and trial, patience and endurance can indicate a deep expression of our faith. We read about David, who found himself in a deep, slimy pit of troubles and was sinking deeper and deeper - but he decided to wait on the Lord. In all the difficult moments, he hoped that God would really intervene. Many times we too find ourselves in difficult times, and waiting on the Lord is something that shows an active hope that is firmly grounded in God’s promises and His faithfulness. No matter how deep we are in trouble, we believe that God’s grace is above all.

God not only heard David’s cries for help, He rescued and delivered him. David expresses his gratitude for God’s intervention and admits that only through the Lord’s deliverance can he stand on firm ground again. He admits that God has always been faithful to his promises and that we can trust him to fulfill them. This message should resonate strongly among Christians who believe in the steadfast character of God.

This psalm offers us incentive and encouragement to continue to rely on the Lord, even when circumstances seem hopeless and unsolvable. In all the difficult and uncertain times, and in times of waiting, we can trust in God’s faithfulness, knowing that He will help as He has done throughout history. It also reminds us that it is important to share our testimonies with others and tell of God’s faithfulness. This way many will hear how God works, how great and powerful He is, and how we can trust in Him.
