A Daily Devotion for Wednesday, September 27

Psalm 118:5

When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place.

I love this verse, and the imagery of a "spacious place." We don't know for sure what the author of the psalm (probably David?) was troubled by, but God delivered him to a sense of freedom. He was no longer feeling hemmed-in and oppressed by what was bothering him. This is the feeling of freedom available to us 24/7. I am so thankful, knowing that no matter what happens to me, I always have the "spacious place" provided by God.

Holy Lord, thank-you!!! Your comfort and protection are always with me. I am so grateful. Freedom from useless worry is a wonderful thing! Amen
