“I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.” – Psalm 40:1-3 (ESV)
At some point in our lives, there will come a time where we feel like we’ve hit rock-bottom. In that moment of despair, take heart in the fact that while we’re fearful, anxious and shaken… God isn’t! Lift your burdens to the hands of the One who never falters, and let Him use those trials to draw you to His side.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
We both posted about waiting today on Facebook. Often we see waiting as doing nothing – I hate waiting for that reason. But waiting on the God is never wasted time. Like the psalmist, we need to learn to wait patiently for the Lord.
Love this Phil…goes right along with my post today–worry is all around us, lift up your eyes to the One who is your Deliever!
Phil,
Love this post today, I think rock bottom is the place where we really see Jesus, He lets us that place sometimes to bring us closer to Him, it is all about Him. It is comforting to know that even where we are in the worst place imaginable He has already gone ahead of us and made a way, that is so awesome to think about, that He already has ti figured out.
Blessings to you Phil.
Oh Phil, this touched me so much. I have been to this place and I am still learning to wait on Him. Love this verse.
Oh, yes, hallelujah! Lead me to the rock that is higher than I!
Never really put the expression hitting rock bottom and Jesus is our Rock together before. wow, great insight. love it.
