This is the outline that I preached from as I spoke on Psalm 40 today at a business luncheon.
Strength for today: Deliverance remembered v. 1-10
- God hears our cry- we can wait patiently v.1 (Romans 8:18-25)
- God sets our feet on a rock v.2 (Matt 7:24)
- God gives us the song to sing v.3 (Rev 5:9)
- God shows how incomparable he is and how he is worthy of our trust v. 4,5 (Heb 2:8-18)
Bright hope for tomorrow: The Lord will deliver again v.11-17
- Because of God’s steadfast love he will preserve v.11,12 (Phil 1:6)
- Because God has delivered he will protect v.14 (Luke 1:71,74)
- Because God is great we can rejoice and be glad in Him. v.16 (Phil 4:4-7)
- Because God is our deliverer we can wait patiently v.17 (then back to v.1)
