“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.” Psalm 40:2 (NIV)

Today we are considering a testimony by David in one of the psalms he wrote. This is a song of praise to God. We want to think of those last words about God giving us a “firm place to stand.” That is really what He has done and is doing. Without that firm place, we find ourselves on uncertain and slippery mud. Have your ever been in such a place where even a step could mean a fall into muck and slime? When we believed in Jesus as our Savior, we were lifted out of the slimy pit we were in and given a solid foundation, a rock to stand on. This rock is the new relationship we have with the God of the universe. We have received His Spirit to live in us and to guide us and to keep us from falling. We belong to Him and are part of His family forever. Such is the solid ground on which we stand now. There is this promise given to us and we can stand on it in faith believing because God is the faithful one who watches over us.
