He Brought Me Up

Psalm 40:2 “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings.”

The pit and the clay that the psalmist speaks of can be symbolic of sin, or it can be seen has a desperate place in life. Either way, it is God that brings us out. He reaches down to where we live and with an out stretched hand He lifts us out of our hopeless situation. Weather lost in sin, or between a rock and a hard place, God provides a way of escape. There are times in life we feel that we are sinking and there is nothing to grab on to. We look around in hopes of a branch to hold on and try and pull ourselves out, but the miry of our problems just keeps pulling us down. Then Jesus passes by and sees and hears our cry. What a Savior! He stops and with love and grace, He pulls us out and puts us on a solid rock. A rock that is firm and stable. With Him, we can live knowing that He is our stability and we can walk with Him without fear of falling or sinking. Thank God! He brought me out, and gave me a life worth living.
