Just the other day I was reading from Psalm 40 and I thought of how blessed I was to be able to see God's hand in my life.
1I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry. 2He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure. 3He 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.
These specific verses really spoke to me as I read the chapter.
Today I had a first with my friend JM. She took me to a Bear's game. Go Bears!!! So when I got back and had A I felt overwhelming tired all of a sudden. On the way home, we picked up some food and as I was ordering I felt a little frustrated because I thought there was just too many choices and wanting the guy to just give me what I asked for and not the extra stuff.
So the end of the story... I come out from picking up food and I get in the car finding myself with a big smile on my face. I realized how I am so much out of the miry bog and the Lord has me in a secure spot. You see I remembered when there was a time in my life when I would go in to grab food or buy something and feel so overwhelmed that I would either not buy anything or just tell them to keep adding what they wanted to add and walk out with a big bill and tears. Today although I was a little bit overwhelmed and tired, I still walked out with what I wanted and a smile.
A few days ago when I read this, I put in my journal that I wanted those verses to the testimony of my life. I continue to pray that. What a testament... Lord continue to use me as a vessel for you.
