I was distracted during the lesson study this morning before church. We have talked of waiting on the Lord and Psalm 40 and 41 caught me today. Please hurry Lord ( do not delay) David asks.
I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me and heard my cry for help. 2 He pulled me out of a horrible pit, out of the mud and clay. He set my feet on a rock and made my steps secure. 3 He placed a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see this and worship. They will trust the LORD. 4 Blessed is the person who places his confidence in the LORD and does not rely on arrogant people or those who follow lies. 5 You have done many miraculous things, O LORD my God. You have made many wonderful plans for us. No one compares to you! I will tell others about your miracles, which are more than I can count..... 16 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "The LORD is great!" 17 But I am oppressed and needy. May the Lord think of me. You are my help and my savior. O my God, do not delay! or in another version: Lord, because I am poor and hlepless, please remember me. You are my hleper and Savior. My God, do not wait.
