01-13-2026 Morning Meditations along the Bending Road

A bend in the road is a situation or event which interrupts or changes life. We all experience bends in our road, but how we manage them can sometimes be a challenge. It is my hope to encourage you as you navigate the bends in your road! Through stories from my own life, prayer, and scripture, I want to walk with you through the bends in your road.

Psalm 40:1-11 (NIV):
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. 
5 Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened—
burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. 
8 I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”
9 I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, Lord, as you know.
10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me.

The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Ps 40.
