1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
2 Let Israel say:
“His love endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say:
“His love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the LORD say:
“His love endures forever.”
5 When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD;
he brought me into a spacious place.
6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?
7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I look in triumph on my enemies. Psalm 118: 1-7
I was thinking today about my shirts that I wear to work each day. Every week I press the shirts to get the wrinkles out, so they are a smooth, clean-cut shirt. Do you find yourself being pressed like and iron on a shirt. Maybe you feel the heat, or the pressure from other people to perform. If you think about the space between an iron and a shirt, it is a very small space that has a lot of heat produced to smooth out the shirt. If you read this passage you can see how the Lord can bring you out of the tight space that you can find yourself in sometimes. The Lord puts you into a spacious place, where you won't feel hard-pressed by the people around you. Count on Him, because as the scripture says, the Lord's love endures forever and He is your helper.
Have a great weekend.
