The right words at the right time.

I love it when God gives you verses from His Word, that seem to express exactly where you are at, or what you need. I had 2 big examples of this in the past few weeks.

First, I was challenged to read Psalm 40, and when I did it seemed so incredibly relevant. It says, 

¹ I waited patiently for the LORD;
   he turned to me and heard my cry.
² 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.
³ He put a new song in my mouth,
   a hymn of praise to our God. 

Having just recently hit the light at the end of a tunnel of depression, this exactly described how I was feeling. God had heard my cry and helped me out of the pit. His faithfulness just made me want to sing His praises. I guess that is how David felt too. 

And then, as I was feeling apprehensive and a bit nervous about the new job I was to start, I came across 2 Corinthians 9:8 on a friends facebook post. It says,

⁸ And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

What an encouragement it was to set off for my first day of work, knowing that God would bless me and equip me.

Praise God for the Word!
