MIRY CLAY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Psalm 40

To be in miry clay is to be in a disadvantage or difficult ground. It can also be a slippery ground or a ground of stagnation where motion can be hindered. The Psalmist called this kind of ground a horrible pit because he had been on that ground before. On a ground where there is none to hold onto is a ground to look up to the hand of the Lord God Almighty.  On a ground where it is wet and slippery is a ground to wait on God and be awake in watching. When a believer waits on God by being awake, it will be a gain from being slipped. There is nothing new under heaven. As believers in the early days faced challenges, believers in these days are not immune to challenges. Challenges are not necessarily an indication of absence from God; it can be a test for promotion in the calling of God for GodÕs assignment. As a believer that is dragging in motion or that is experiencing stagnation because of the miry clay you can always turn to the Word of God. Is there any disadvantage or difficult challenges in any area of life? This is what the Psalmist has to say in    Psalm 40:1-2, ÒI waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon rock and established my steps.Ó Just as it written, wait and you will soon start singing a new song that people around you will see it and they will fear and trust God.
