Remember Where He Found You
Reading: Psalm 40:1-3
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. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
Devotional: There is power in remembrance. The lame man at the Beautiful Gate had spent more than forty years in a condition of helplessness. When healing came, his leap was not random — it was the overflow of a man who knew exactly what he had been delivered from. The depth of your gratitude is often measured by how clearly you remember your need. When your joy begins to fade, go back to the beginning. Remember the pit. Remember the weight of guilt. Remember the moment grace broke through. Your leap is not lost — it is waiting to be rekindled by the memory of what God has already done. Do not let familiarity with grace cause you to forget the miracle of it.
Reflection: What specific moment in your life represents your personal "get up and walk" experience? Write it down and thank God for it today.
Practical Application: Set aside ten minutes today to write out your testimony — not for anyone else, but for yourself. Keep it somewhere you can return to when your joy begins to grow quiet.
