Meditation On Psalm 40

The Psalms are unlike any other book of the Bible. They do not tell a story or relay prophecy; they are poetry. The psalmist pours out their emotions surrounding their relationship with God and with others. Psalm 40 is a mix of lamentation and gratefulness. There is sadness for the despair that existed before God’s intervention and joy at turning a corner. This meditation goes back and forth between Scripture and some reflective words to assist your thoughts and deepen your prayer.

Just beautiful
Thank you
One of my favourite Psalms
I'm so glad I stumbled across you

Grateful for the guidance and wisdom in this meditation, both from the psalm and Carol. I loved the simple ending of choosing one word to focus on after taking in a layered psalm. Thank you!

Thank you Carol. Wonderful meditation. Blessings 🙏🏻
