The promise of the transformation of our lives is not just for us – it is for the others who will see it and be changed. We so often lose perspective on the effect of our great salvation upon the world around us; but the beginning of Psalm 40 is a promise.

David is experiencing what all of us must go through in our steps to come to God. We must see our sin and realize that we need a Savior.

Salvation needs to be priceless to us. It has to be something that we couldn’t earn on our own. This is where the value of Jesus comes in. We need Him!

The key verse is the last one – “Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!” (verse 22)

In Psalm 34, David poured out a Psalm about the happiness of those who trust in the Lord after he pretended he was crazy in front of King Abimelech and was driven away from the Philistines.

When the foundations of our nation and the nations of the world seem to be unraveling – God calls us, as believers in Himself, to look higher and see the eternal nation that He is building.

Uniquely clear and to the point – Psalm 32 contracts the heaviness and sorrow of sin versus the lightness and joy of God’s mercy. It is a passage of how freedom is found in confession and acknowledgement of sin and God’s true desire is for us all to be liberated from iniquity and transgressions.

In Psalm 28 - we again have the contrast between the wicked and the righteous but this time it highlights David’s expectations on God’s response to each.
