Taken from my devotional reading today... It ministered to me, and I hope it will do the same for someone else.

Psalm 40:2 - He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.~ KJV
~~
One way you realize you are out of a pit is that you're feet are finally planted on a rock and you've got a firm place to stand.
Winds may blow, and waters rise- but you will not lose ground.
God is not just a firm place to stand. He's a firm place to stay.
It's not just about getting out of the pit for a while, it's about getting out of the pit for good. If that's what we want, we have to make up our minds.
The ground beneath our feet is only as firm as our resolve. As long as we're wishy-washy, what's under us will be wishy-washy too.
God gives us a firm place to stand. We just have to decide if we want to take it.
We take the firm place God gives when we make up our minds, and plant both our feet.
