He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. This verse from Psalm 40:2 speaks of God’s deliverance and guidance. It paints a vivid picture of someone trapped in a pit, overwhelmed and stuck, but God reaches down, lifts them up, and sets them on solid ground. Birthdays are an opportunity to reflect on how far God has brought us. Have we faced struggles, challenges, or dark times in our lives? If so, we can be thankful for God’s faithfulness in lifting us out of those difficult situations. He doesn’t just deliver us from our troubles—He establishes our paths, providing direction and purpose. As we celebrate our birthday, let us give thanks for God’s faithfulness and guidance, trusting that He will continue to lead us in the days ahead, even when we face future challenges.
