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 the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD.
Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.
Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”
I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
O LORD, You Yourself know.
Psalm 40 1-9
This Psalm has brought great comfort as of late as we wait for the Lord to show us what He has for us in the coming months. It's a wonderful place to be and to see the small (and the BIG) things that God is doing. We will rejoice in them and praise Him for His works. He is the God of all comfort. We find peace in knowing these simple truths. Simple, yet so complex for the human heart and mind to comprehend. We are in a good place and these are exciting times. So, while we wait, we will pray, love others, declare His righteousness, and seek to do our best in obedience to Him.
