I've been spending a lot of time reflecting today. Been kinda withdrawn and quiet, as Glen so kindly put it today. I have a lot of things pressing on my heart right now. Things I really can't share, especially here in the blog world. Things that only can be prayed for; things that can only be laid at the feet of Jesus. This verse was posted as someone's FB status and God used it to speak volumes to me!
Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the LORD.
As I'm hanging out here in my miry bog, I know God hears the cries of my heart. I know that He sets my feet upon a rock and makes my steps secure. I really want to hang out here in my bog. I want to wallow in my thoughts. I am unmotivated to do anything else. Yet, tonight, I am crying out to my Lord. I am waiting patiently. Although I have always known that He is there, His presence still amazes me! I pray for those who are heavy on my heart tonight that they will know the gift of salvation and eternal life, the healing power of Jesus, and His calming presence.
