Bible verse and quote
by Jan Couns
And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You. Psalm 39:7 Faith is that which, knowing the Lord's will, goes and does it; or, not knowing it, stands and waits, content in ignorance as in knowledge, because God wills - neither pressing into the hidden future, nor careless of the knowledge which opens. George MacDonald
I have become mute; I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it. Ps39:9 If we keep on blaming everything negative or painful in our lives on (someone else), we may very well miss the good and loving work of the discipline and training God seeks to accomplish in our lives. Henry Blackaby, Christian author
(Psalm of David) I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1 Waiting is a continued trusting; what trust believes by faith, it waits for by hope; trust a compound of both faith and hope. Robert Mossom
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay.. Psalm 40:2a It may need a sharp pull to save a soul from the net of temptation, and a mighty pull to extricate a man from the snares of malicious cunning, but the Lord is equal to every emergency, and the most skillfully placed nets of the hunter shall never be able to hold his chosen ones. Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834-92
(He brought me up out) And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. Psalm 40:2b It is a true evidence of grace, when confidence increase with opposition, great troubles breeding great confidence. Richard Sibbes, 1577-1635, English theologian
