Thought
For Today – January 10
Lifted
From The Pit!
When
I believed and called upon the Lord and waited patiently for him, he
heard me and lifted me up out of the horrible miry pit – the
horrible pit 0f sin; the horrible pit of spiritual poverty; the
horrible pit of fear and despair, and sickness of mind and soul; the
horrible pit of temptation; the horrible pit of sorrow; the horrible
pit of death. Consequently, I have a song of praise and thanksgiving
in my mouth, and joy in my heart, for my feet are set upon the rock,
and through Christ I can know the way and where I am going. I can
agree with the psalmist who said: “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, nd 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.” Psalm 40: 1, 2, 3.
