Read Psalm 40 today.
​

What changes between verse 1 and verse 2?
What was the psalmist’s response?

There is joy in salvation from the Lord!

As you reflect on this, pray in these ways and any other way the Holy Spirit leads.

To wait patiently for the Lord in your own life.
That the Lord will draw you up from the pit.
That you will have JOY in your salvation.
That many will see this JOY in you and put their trust in the Lord.
 
A Joyful Salvation
 
For the Pure and Shining One
A song of poetic praise by King David
 
1  I waited and waited and waited some more,
patiently, knowing God would come through for me.
Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry.
2  He stooped down to lift me out of danger
from the desolate pit I was in,
out of the muddy mess I had fallen into.
Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place
and steadied me while I walk along his ascending path.
3  A new song for a new day rises up in me
every time I think about how he breaks through for me!
Ecstatic praise pours out of my mouth until
everyone hears how God has set me free.
Many will see his miracles;
they’ll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!
4  Blessing after blessing comes to those who love and trust the Lord.
They will not fall away,
for they refuse to listen to the lies of the proud.
5  O Lord, our God, no one can compare with you.
Such wonderful works and miracles are all found with you!
And you think of us all the time
with your countless expressions of love--
far exceeding our expectations!
6  It’s not sacrifices that really move your heart.
Burnt offerings, sin offerings—those aren’t what bring you joy.
But when you open my ears and speak to me,
I become your willing servant, your prisoner of love for life. 
7  So I said, “Here I am! I’m coming to you as a sacrifice, 
for in the prophetic scrolls of your book
you have written about me.
8  I delight to fulfill your will, my God,
for your living words are written upon the pages of my heart.”
9  I tell everyone everywhere the truth of your righteousness.
And you know I haven’t held back in telling the message to all.
10I don’t keep it a secret or hide the truth.
I preach of your faithfulness and kindness,
proclaiming your extravagant love to the largest crowd I can find!
11So Lord, don’t hold back your love or withhold
your tender mercies from me.
Keep me in your truth and let your compassion overflow to me
no matter what I face.
12Evil surrounds me; problems greater than I can solve
come one after another.
Without you, I know I can’t make it.
My sins are so many!
I’m so ashamed to lift my face to you.
For my guilt grabs me and stings my soul
until I am weakened and spent.
13Please, Lord! Come quickly and rescue me!
Take pleasure in showing me your favor and restore me.
14Let all who seek my life be humiliated!
Let them be confused and ashamed, God.
Scatter those who wish me evil; they just want me dead.
15Scoff at every scoffer and cause them all to be utter failures.
Let them be ashamed and horrified by their complete defeat.
16But let all who passionately seek you
erupt with excitement and joy over what you’ve done!
Let all your devoted lovers rejoice continually in the Savior, saying,
“How great and glorious is our God!”
17Lord, in my place of weakness and need, I ask again:
Will you come and help me?
I know I’m always in your thoughts.
You are my true Savior and hero,
so don’t delay to deliver me now, for you are my God.
