“He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the Lord.” Psalm 40:2-3 - (NASB)
Our verses today give us a vivid description of what occurs when we place our faith in Jesus Christ. We are saved from where we were, the pit of destruction, and set on the solid footing of a rock. This is the immediate result of accepting God's offer of salvation. What is the 'miry clay'? It is where our life was trapped by our sinful nature and the sinful practices we indulge in. But our promise is that in Christ, we are now standing on a firm place. God replaces what was our practices with a new song of praise to God. Yes, friends as we trust in Jesus as our Savior we can and will experience real peace and also the assurance that God will always be with us. He has promised us that He is a firm place for us to stand. We can trust Him to always care for us. Our lives will be a testimony for others to see and give them reason to trust in the Lord.
