David's words

I have read the Bible cover-to-cover a couple times, but I'm now in the process of really trying to understand Paul's travels and David's Psalms. I came across Psalm 40 this morning, and David's prayer in his time of distress struck a chord with me.

Psalm 40: 1-3 "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.."

I think I'm starting to feel deeper healing from God. He's been healing me slowly since Gracie died, but it had always seemed like "surface healing". Now, I really believe He's working hard in the deep areas of my soul. It's like I'm reading His Word with different eyes. If you've never taken the time to read through David's words in the Book of Psalms, I suggest you start.
