The Belt of Truth: Psalm 40:1-10
Jul 14, 2023 • Rev. Andrew Belt
Psalm 40 forms a triumphant conclusion to a theme started in Psalm 37 of waiting for God. Psalms 38 and 39 were expressions of the pain that often results in waiting.
Psalm 40 shows us the results of waiting: that they are worth it and God’s deliverance can be trusted and that it will cause us to erupt into a new song such as the Exodus and Luke 1-2
In this psalm, verses 6-8 are quotes especially of Jesus in Hebrews 10, the communal salvation that Jesus is drawing us into points us to the salvation and righteousness that Jesus has won.
