The Pit

"I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 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." (Psalms 40:1-2)

A woman fell into a pit and couldn't get herself out...

A subjective person came along and said, "I feel for you, down there."

An objective person came along and said, "It's logical that someone would fall down there."

A Pharisee said, "Only bad people fall into a pit."

A news reporter wanted the exclusive story on her pit.

An IRS man asked if she was paying taxes on the pit.

A self-pitying man said "You haven't seen anything until you've seen my pit!"

An optimist said, "Things could be worse."

A pessimist said, "Things will get worse!"

Jesus, seeing the woman, took her by the hand and lifted her out of the pit.
