Slimy Pit

Monday - 5/7 - Read Psalm 40:1-3

Were you saved from a life that was a "slimy pit?" Some people are saved from really "slimy" spiritual pasts. Some people are saved very young in life before things get too "slimy."

How can a person's life be described as a "slimy pit," even though they were saved at a young age before they really got involved in the things of the world?

Can you remember when you were stuck in the "mud and mire" of life? What was life like for you then?

What did Paul say about that kind of life before He found Christ? cp. Philippians 3:7-9

Do you ever feel a lure back to that old "mud and mire?"

Do you feel that lure today? Why not confess this to God.

Will you stop and think, just for a moment, about what God has accomplished through the salvation He provided for you in Christ?

Meditate for a few moments about what God has saved you from.
