Scripture
Psalm 40:2
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
On this episode of Tailgate Talks, Blake shares a story about getting stuck in the mud while baling hay to illustrate how, just like we can't rescue ourselves from life's "miry pits," only Jesus can truly pull us out and set us on solid ground.
