Being in a Pit...and Getting Out

The other day, I was getting ready to wind down for the night...you know, just shower and watch some tv before I went to bed. As I was getting into my pjs, a scripture popped into my head -courtesy of the Lord :)-. It was Psalm 40. I didn't know it by heart, so I looked it up in my Bible. I know that it was definitely God who had put that scripture into my heart because I had been dealing with some difficult stuff that week. I was just tired and drained. This is the scripture:

Psalm 40:1-3
"I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth-Praise to out God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord".

All I could say was, "Wow! Thank you Lord!" Even when I feel lonely, God will place a simple thought into my head and change my whole perspective. He listens when we cry out to Him. He will establish our steps and put a song in our mouths. The pit can be deep, but getting out isn't hard when you have God on your side.

Have a blessed day :)
