Day 8 of the journey

A Wider Place

Today's stop rests on Psalm 18:19. It takes about a minute.

“He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.”

Psalm 18:19

The reflection

Delight, not obligation, is the reason he came for you. Let that sentence be slower than the rest of your day.

One step forward

Sit with this one line for a minute before you move.

A short prayer

Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
