WHEN HE BENDS DOWN TO ATTEND TO YOU

Psa 40:1 I waited
patiently for the LORD,
and he bent down to me
and heard my cry.

The image of God bending down to hear the cries of His people is both powerful and comforting. This verse beautifully captures the intimate relationship between God and His children. This act of God bending down is a beautiful metaphor for His compassion and closeness. Unlike distant or indifferent gods, our God is personal, loving, and attentive. He is not far away but is near to those who call on Him

God’s compassion is not a passive sentiment but an active response to our needs. When we are in distress, He bends down to listen and to lift us up. This is a reminder that no matter how deep our pit or how desperate our situation, God sees, hears, and is ready to act on our behalf.Charles Spurgeon, known as the “Prince of Preachers,” once said, “The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.” God’s bending down to us is a demonstration of His grace. He meets us in our brokenness and transforms our trials into testimonies of His faithfulness.”

Waiting is not passive; it is an active stance of faith and trust in God’s timing. Patience is often difficult, especially in times of suffering or uncertainty. But it is in these moments that our faith is tested and refined.Henri Nouwen, a renowned spiritual writer, said, “Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.”

When God bends down to hear us, He does so with a heart full of love and a desire to bring us into His peace and purpose. It is in the stillness and patience of waiting that we often hear God’s gentle voice and feel His comforting presence. When we are in the pits of life, lets remember that God is near, bending down to lift us out and place us on solid ground
