He Puts Us In A Broad Place - Psalms 30-32

Psalms 31:6-8 (ESV)

I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,

but I trust in the LORD.

I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,

because you have seen my affliction;

you have known the distress of my soul,

and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;

you have set my feet in a broad place.


Perhaps, one of the greatest blessing of be in a follower of Christ, are contained in the lines in the above passage.  Because we are Christ-followers we are beneficiaries of His steadfast love and the assurance He will not deliver us into the hand of the enemy, and that He sets an our feet in a broad place

For confirmation of all that, note the following weekly prayer list you can adapt:

he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

he rescued me, because he delighted in me.


TUE

Psalms 18:36 (ESV)

You gave a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet did not slip.


WED

Psalms 31:8 (ESV)

and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;

you have set my feet in a broad place.


THUR

He also allured you out of distress

into a broad place where there was no cramping,

and what was set on your table was full of fatness.


FRI

Psalms 119:96 (ESV)

96 I have seen a limit to all perfection,

but your commandment is exceedingly broad.


SAT


1 Chronicles 4:10 (ESV)

Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that you would bless me and ENLARGE my border, AND THAT YOUR HAND MIGHT BE WITH ME, and that YOU WOULD KEEP ME FROM HARM, so that it might not bring me pain!” And God granted what he asked.


SUN

Psalms 18:33-34 (ESV)

He made my feet like the feet of a deer

and set me secure on the heights.

He trains my hands for war,

so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.


Psalms 26:12 (ESV)

12 My foot stands on level ground;

in the great assembly I will bless the LORD.


God, through the work of the Son and the power of the Spirit, keeps us from harm and sets us in a board place.  Wow!  That is the blessing of being a Christ-follower.
