A SPACIOUS PLACE

2/26/2020

Last year, after much consideration, we let go of our large house with its many nooks and crannies and downsized into a smaller house.  Although the size of our home would be greatly reduced the spaciousness increased as the areas that had previously gone unused were eliminated.  The living areas that we use most are now the largest....it is A SPACIOUS PLACE.

​The Psalmist David found himself crowded into a corner by his enemies.  His circumstance was not only life threatening but it also held his "life-giving" will captive.  His Heavenly Father heard his cry for help and it was granted in a way that only God could arrange (see Psalm 18:1-19).  Here is David’s response...
 
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me... Psalm 18:16 &19
 
Will you cry out to God asking Him to reach down with his mighty hand and remove you from the nooks and crannies of life...from the life circumstances that have crowded you in and rendered you paralyzed?  Can you also believe that He has A SPACIOUS PLACE for you ...a place He has already prepared for you?

The same God that brought David out of his situation is there for us and waits for us to cry out to Him when our life-giving will is threatened by stifling circumstances.

 
PRAYER: When I find myself boxed in by circumstances of life I will cry out to you. You and you alone, are my rescuer. You will bring me into A SPACIOUS PLACE of freedom and enlarged understanding.  Thank you for delighting in me.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
 
                CHOOSE TO MOVE OUT OF THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES OF LIFE
                AND INTO THE POWER OF GOD’S DELIGHT...A SPACIOUS PLACE!
