Holy Ground ~ Passion, ft. Melanie Malone
I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. ~ Psalms 40:1 AMP
Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you read scripture it can change from words on a page to a truth you know from experience or revelation? A pastor once said it’s harder for people, circumstances, and the devil to get you to doubt Truth once you’ve experienced it for yourself. Experience sums up Psalm 34:8, “Taste and see that the Lord is good…” Once you’ve experienced God’s faithfulness, His forgiveness, or one of His many other promises and attributes, someone would be hard-pressed to convince you that it was a lie.
Psalm 40:1 paints a beautiful picture of how we can experience God amid our circumstances. The word inclined means to lean down, step down, or pitch a tent. When you’re going through difficult, new, or painful situations, wouldn’t it bring you peace knowing Jesus was in your camp? Think about it, you’re going through some rough circumstances, maybe causing many restless nights, but in walks Jesus with His own sleeping bag and pillow—not because He sleepy—to stay with you for the duration of the journey. Just like my children come into my bed, seeking protection and comfort after nightmares or during violent thunderstorms, God comes to you, to comfort and protect you, during your painful and scary storms.
If you are struggling with something, don’t try to take on this season alone. God is waiting for you to invite Him into your situation, to help, heal, comfort, encourage, and journey with you.
