Brought Out to Stay Out

 

Psalm 40:1-3

 

How can we effectively respond to this experience?

 

By seeking to understand:

 

I. The Pit vv. 1-2

 

(1) A Horrible Place "He also brought me up out of a horrible pit"

 

(2) A Helpless Place "Out of the miry clay"

 

(3) A Hopeless Place

 

II. The Survivor v. 1

 

Notice David’s strategy. He...

 

(1) Waited

(2) Waited Patiently

 

(3) Waited for the Lord

 

III. The Rescue vv. 2-3

 

(1) Begins in the Pit

 

a. He Comes

 

b. He Hears

 

"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose

name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a

contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and

to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15

 

(2) Ends on the Rock

 

a. A New Walk "established my steps"

 

b. A New Worship "a new song in my mouth"

c. A New Witness "many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord"
