Day 10 Psalm 40:1-5

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.

Reflection: Our God hears our prayers and transforms our lives. He lifts us out of the “pit of destruction” and the “miry bog,” and sets our feet firmly upon the rock. He fills our mouths with a new song—a song of praise for His mighty works—so that those around us may see His grace, stand in awe, and turn to trust in the Lord. God’s work in us is not a one-time rescue; He continually reveals His wonders and His thoughts toward us—so many that they cannot be numbered. Let us praise Him for His marvelous deeds and learn to trust Him even as we wait, for He surely hears, and He surely acts with grace.
