Verse set: Psalm 40:1-3§↻

Description

These verses present a pattern of life at least part of which every Christian knows about first hand. David leads us through six stages of his experience. First, David is in a muddy pit; second, he cries to God for help; third, he waits for the Lord; fourth, God draws him out of the pit to safety; fifth, God gives David a new song to sing; sixth, many others come to trust God when they see this pattern of life. The king's pit, the king's cry, the king's patience, the king's rescue, the king's song, and the king's influence. Here is King David, a man after God's own heart. Let us see if we can make his pattern part of our life. (summarised from John Piper's notes).

Psalm

40 1 I relied completely on the LORD, and he turned toward me and heard my cry for help.
2 He lifted me out of the watery pit, out of the slimy mud. He placed my feet on a rock and gave me secure footing.
3 He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the LORD!
