Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare. (40:5)
Rejoicing in this truth today. I have nothing to worry about, nothing to plan. He is even too great for me to declare! Praise be to the God that I cannot understand nor put into words because if I could describe Him with my tiny human words would He even be a God worth serving? Praise our God!
I have always been a Christian and a believer but recently I gave my life back to God the Father and have been walking in a new light, His beautiful light! Everything I do now isn’t for me but for God and I feel a new sense of peace and protection by Him! 40:11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me. I pray that God continues to protect my life that is now under Him and for Him to continue to do the same for all of you awesome women! Remain blessed!
Good morning friends! This verse really spoke to me: 39:5 You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure.
It reminded me of the importance of being content in all circumstances. There might be people you think have it all, or even things that we are envious of, but this verse levels the playing field. Everyone is the same in regards to our time here, so let’s make the most of who we are, and glorify God. :-)
1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
This is how I felt once I began studying the Word and being in it everyday. I believed, prayed and tried to portray a Christian, but once I began to read and study His Word I felt a new foundation under me. He is my rock and my Savior.
4 My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.
These past couple of weeks I’ve certainly felt like David did when he wrote these words. While my head knows the Lord loves me and he covers all my guilt and shame, that Truth has not been in my heart as of late.
I pray that I know His Truth. I pray that all those out there who feel like their past deeds are too much for God to take care of will someday soon know how much He loves them.
Praying for you, Allison, that the Truth will take root in your heart and overcome the lies. You are made clean and whole in the righteousness of Christ!
8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
This is my prayer for my own life today. I pray that the word of God is so deep in my heart that I only desire His will. Such a good and timely reminder!
Amen! I enjoyed that portion too. Amazing how even David realized back then that it wasn’t about the outward actions and superficial “law”, but what was in our heart. In Psalm 4 it says how from the heart are the issues of life. Wherever our heart lies, is really where our life, behavior, choices etc will follow. May our hearts be fully resting in Him alone!
Jennifer, I was amazed at the same thing! How beautiful for an Old Testament Jew to say “sacrifice and meal offering you have not desired… Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.” David must have had such a deep understanding of God’s love and true desire for our repentance to permeate to our hearts!!
12 For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
I love how transparent David is to God, he holds nothing’s back and cries out to him for help and just WAITS. So awesome!

Pray and stay in the Word. You are cleansed and you life starts anew. Prayers.
16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The Lord is great!”
Lord I pray you help me to praise you in all circumstances and always say the Lord is Great!
