GRATEFUL


"I waited patiently for the Lord; and HE inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
HE brought me up also out of an horrible pit; out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings, and HE hath put a new song in my mouth--even praise unto our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.
Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies..." ~Psalm 40:1-4 KJV


"I waited patiently for the Lord; HE turned to me and heard my cry. 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. HE put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods..." ~Psalm 40:1-4 NIV


"I waited and waited and waited for God. At last HE looked; finally HE listened. HE lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud. HE stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip. HE taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God. More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God. Blessed are you who give yourselves over to God; turn your backs on the world’s “sure thing," ignore what the world worships..." ~Psalm 40:1-4 The Message
