Thursday - Psalm 40 (selected verses)I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. 4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.[ 5 Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.17 But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay.

Psalm 40

Jeff Hendrix on Psalm 40: As we continue our series on Christ in the Psalms we move on to the Psalms of New Orientation. In Psalm 40 we find David exploring a new understanding...a new song...that doesn't involve the sacrifices and offerings of the Old Testament Law. Instead we see a freedom from the old way that opens up the door for the New Covenant through Jesus Christ.

Tuesday Bible Study: Pastor M.L. Whitlock

Series: PsalmsService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Ryan BoyerPsalm 40 is both a song of praise for past salvation (vv. 1-10), and a plea for help (vv. 11-17), but neither of these is the main purpose of this psalm. (This is one reason why it may not be the best idea to hyper-focus on trying to label the category of each psalm.) The main purpose of this song is to inform the readers that God desires public praise, and it is demonstration of how to do it.Psalm 40:1-5 is an overview of the entire message.v. 1a - I waited patiently.

Mar. 26, 2025 - 5 Reasons To Wait On The LordJosiah GallegosPsalm 40:1-5 | Study #20250326GUEST

Date: 3/26/25 Preacher: Jacob Hutcheon

Deuteronomy loosely translated means “second law,” because it's in this book that Moses reviews the Law and the promises of God for a new generation before he, himself, passes away. The former generation has all died because of their iniquity, just as the Lord had sworn, which means that the next generation needs a recap of what has happened so far. In his final words to the nation of Israel, you'll hear Moses give Israel's history of wandering in the same way a pastor might speak to his congregation, pleading with them to trust in the Lord and reminding them of God's faithfulness.Deuteronomy 1 - 1:09 . Deuteronomy 2 - 9:34 . Deuteronomy 3 - 17:09 . Psalm 40 - 22:47 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

A New Song: How to Pray in Times of Distress (Psalm 40) | Women's Bible Study | Kelli Atterbury

We are beginning the book of Leviticus; which basically means, “pertaining to the Levites,” as this book dives deeper into the responsibilities of priests and the divine-human relationship codified on Mount Sinai. The Lord gives Moses instructions for offering different kinds of sacrifices to be made before the Lord, allowing an impure people to be made holy by obedience to a perfect God. We'll look at four kinds of offering today. The burnt offering is given with prayer or praise to seek God's face and favor. The grain offering is generally offered alongside another offering. The fellowship offering emphasizes fellowship with the Lord by having a communion meal. Finally, the sin offering is given to atone for sin that has been committed. Leviticus 1 - 1:00 . Leviticus 2 - 3:50 . Leviticus 3 - 7:36 . Leviticus 4 - 10:23 . Psalm 40 - 17:04 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Commitment On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: I love reading passionate prayers in Scripture. This is one of those places where David cries out to God for deliverance. What stands out to you about this particular passage? Where do you get the idea of commitment from this verse? The way that God loves us challenges the way that we love others. What do you think about defining commitment as "a refusal to leave" someone even when they fail? It is easy to think of God refusing to leave us after we fail and sin. But how does it change our perspective when we think about staying in a relationship after a great failure? How does it change our perspective if we are the one that greatly failed? The reading for the day is: Leviticus 15:1–16:28 Mark 7:1-23 Psalm 40:11-17 Proverbs 10:13-14

Psalm 40 is a Psalm of thanksgiving, where David celebrates God's deliverance from past troubles and expresses confidence in God's future faithfulness. Pastor Fredo explores David's testimony of how God has lifted him out of the pit of despair and set his feet on solid ground. This Psalm encourages believers to wait patiently on the Lord and to trust that He will answer in His time.Pastor Fredo also reflects on the deep joy that comes from knowing that God has given us a new song to sing. It's a reminder that God's faithfulness leads to praise and that no matter what we face, we can trust in His saving power and steadfast love.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

Question: Psalm 40:6 reads, “Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.” Why did David say this verse when a good chunk of Leviticus made rules on sacrifice?Response: First of all, because he was inspired by the Lord to write this down. Secondly, he's referencing 1 Samuel 15:22, where Samuel was inspired to say, “Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”Further, he is speaking prophetically of the Lord Jesus. Verse 7 of Psalm 40 reads, “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.”Hebrews 10:5 explains further, “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me….”Simply put, David wrote this verse because he was inspired by the Lord to do so and it speaks emphatically of the end of the Levitical sacrifices. In Hebrews 10:9, God inspired the writer to say, “Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.”
