Do we know where we are ?

“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.”

Psalm 40: 2-3 (New King James Version)

Aren’t you happy today that you are no longer stuck in the mire. But Christ has taken you and set your feet on a rock ! Wow ! Praise the Lord ! Just imagine walking through mire…swampy marsh.. we would have no idea where our feet would trod … we would have no idea how deep we are or what pit lies ahead…

Praise the Lord that He has set our feet on a rock and has established our steps !! In other words He has made our steps secure.

Every time we open the newspaper we read of so much of uncertainty… recession , rich and established countries going through financial crisis , job losses , accidents , …The world is filled with so much of uncertainty. We are however citizens of heaven. How grateful do we need to be to our God who has established our steps ! For those of us who are still stuck in the marsh…just call upon Him… For God does not desire sacrifice and offering … but a heart that delights to do His will ! Christ is searching today for those who will yield themselves completely to His will . A heart that will humble before the presence of the King of kings.

He has put a new song in our mouths ! A new song ! No more old whining … no more old complaining … no more old bitterness … no more unforgiveness….. no more…

He has given us songs of deliverance ! And this is to be a testimony to all those around us. A new song not just for ourselves… but for others to see and trust in the Lord !

We read in verse 4 , “Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies”. A lot of us sometimes think we are extra smart :-) we try and manipulate situations such that we don’t actually lie with our lips but do things in hiding behind the backs of our loved ones … we hide and do things without the knowledge of our family in spite of knowing very well what they expect of us.. Manipulating a situation that causes us not to actually speak a lie is still sin… Because God looks at the heart. Let us be careful not to turn aside to lies. Anything that is even remotely associated to a lie lets not even turn towards that direction.

Our God has set us upon a rock and established our steps. Lets not find ourselves wallowing back in the miry clay. He has put a new song in our mouth let us be a testimony to Him . Let not idle talk and unwanted vocabulary ever come out from the same mouth.
