There are many instances of where people find themselves in a pit

Absalom was thrown in a pit

There are times when you need to go into a pit to kill an enemy as was the case of Benaiah

Some times that you fall into a pit of your own making

Sometimes you fall in a pit that you may have dug for others

And sometimes it is just Gods will that you are found in pit

Even though that may be true

I don’t believe that it is Gods will for you to be a pit dweller

Has it occurred to you that the pit is not to be your permanent address?

For some of us we’ve been down so long we believe that were are supposed to be down

There are three reasons for a pit in scripture

1. Correction

2. Protection

Do you feel like you have more bills that money?

Do you feel like the whole world is caving in on you?

III. And you go through life trading one pit for another

Here a pit, there a pit everywhere a pit, pit
