Ciao Family,

In Psalm 40, David is in a pit. He says, “I waited patiently upon the Lord.” The implication being…much time has passed; there would be no quick fix. It wasn’t merely about the waiting; it was mostly about the expecting. The literal Hebrew reads, “I have diligently expected Jehovah.” David is in a pit, but He knows his God is doing a beautiful, holy, and necessary work in his soul.

In the pit, God teaches His people “a new song…a song of praise to God!” Yes, of course, as He meets us in, and brings us through, the trial; we simply must sing His praise!

Much love,

Jim & Karen
