As I’ve said, one of the things I use for my Bible Study is SheReadsTruth.com. On Saturdays, they have Grace Day – todays verse.
Oh my. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it or read it before. But I won’t ever forget it!
He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.
2 Samuel 22:20
I like my space, but I feel vulnerable in spacious places. I tend to hold my emotions close. but…
He brought me out into a spacious place;
When He brings you & me into spacious places, we can trust Him. He will protect us both.
He rescued you & me. God, our Heavenly Father, sent Jesus Christ to rescue us. Jesus already died on the cross for my sins, for your sins, then He rose again three days later because He CONQUERED death.
He rescued me…
Why did He rescue you? Why did He rescue me? because He delights in you! because He delights in me!
because He delighted in me.
God, the Creator of the whole universe, delights in you. God, the Creator of the whole universe, delights in me.
As a parent, I want to draw my children out. I want to rescue them. I delight in them. Just as my Heavenly Father wants the same relationship with me.
As a single parent, I especially want to protect & rescue my children. I want to protect them from the hurts, the consequences, of my mistakes. I want to rescue them from hurts I inflict, from consequences of my actions. … but this isn’t what my Heavenly Father wants me to do.
Just as He brought me out into the spacious place – He wants to bring them into the spacious place He has for them. He wants to rescue them because He delights in each of them.
I hope this is an encouragement to each of you today.
