verseoftheday

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; Psalm 18:16-19 NIV You can almost feel the relief... he brought me out - I've been stuck with this problem/ issue/ person/ thinking and it's like the doors have been opened and he steps out into fresh air From constraint, locked in, held back, where  there are no options, where the  air is stale, there is no light...to a spacious place... From bound, to free. It's not clear what God did. It's not clear that his circumstances changed. But his view of them did. His eyes were saw the far horizon of God's story, and he knew that no matter what, God was with him... #with #breathe #heismysupport #thefarhorizon #psalms #psalm18

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. Psalm 18:16-18 NIV The enemy. Not sure what or who your enemy is today, but David's was big. Powerful. Foes Too strong for me Confronting Bringing disaster No wonder he felt overwhelmed. Too strong for me. That's quite an admission, one that I don't like to make. Surely I'm awesome enough, powerful enough, can do anything if I just focus or meditate or will it to be, imagine it, and defeat anything... David here says "I can't do this on my own, my enemy is too much for me" "But the Lord was my support" He found the answer was who was with him. Yahweh. The creator. The one who reaches down David says lean into Him, walk with Him in the valley. #heismyrescuer #heismysupport #with #thewayoutisth...
