A Solid Place To Stand

After years of uncertainty and upheaval at every turn, it's wonderful to recover a life that has some stability. It's delightful to wake up in the morning without wondering what happened the night before or to fret about how we are going to get what we need to see us through the day ahead.

The heavy burden of wrecked relationships and burned bridges with those we cared about is in the process of being healed. How many times in the past did we wonder if we would ever find a way out of the horrible mess we were trapped in? In our brokenness and chaos we cried out to God, even though we weren't sure He was there or cared about us or could do anything for us. We simply longed for someone somewhere to do something to improve our lot in life.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. (Psalm 40:1-3 NLT)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, My life is not perfect and I still have a journey ahead of me. Nevertheless, I am truly amazed by what you have already done for me and in me. What once seemed impossible to me is now a living reality. One by one I see your promises fulfilled as I put my trust in Your word. Thank you for loving and caring for me. I am forever grateful that I can stand on solid ground and know for certain that Your Presence is ever with me. Amen.
