A Spacious Place

A Spacious Place

Today's devotional is taken from Your Live Matters; Reflections from the Psalms

"He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me" - Psalm 18:16-19.

Time and again in the book of Psalms, the writer wrote and sang about his trouble and how the Lord had rescued and delivered him. In today's passage, the psalmist stated that the Lord brought him into a 'spacious place.'

Do you believe the Lord delights in you? What does a spacious place represent for you? A bigger house? A breakthrough in a relationship? A new business? More ministry opportunities? A role where you can be who God made you to be, surrounded by people who appreciate and don't envy or limit you?

In your journal, take a few minutes to write about what an ideal 'spacious place' would look like for you. Visualize it. Thank God for it before you have it. Then trust the Lord for such a place!
