2 Samuel 22:20 (NAS)
He
also brought me forth into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted
in me.
2 Samuel 22:20 (NRSV)
He
brought me out into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Satan tries to keep you
hemmed and squeezed into a small, tight place. He often pushes
you between "the rock and the hard place." He wants you to
believe that there is no way out of any adverse situation. He tries to
change your thinking to his way. He lies and tells you that there is no
way God can deliver you; the enemy says that it is impossible.
You, however, know that
nothing is impossible with God; the only requirement that you have is to
believe it. God desires to take you from that narrow, confined
circumstance. He desires to deliver you to a broad and roomy place. He wants
you to go forward. Instead of looking at that "rock and hard
place", look to the Rock and put your trust in Him. Go forward into that
wide expanse that Adonai has promised you-- a place where you will be enlarged
and receive abundance.
God always promises
to come to your aid when you look to Him for help; for He delights
and takes pleasure in you. Not only will He deliver you, but He will also
equip and arm you for future confrontations. He will make you strong, bracing
you up with His word and His Spirit. Instead of being defeated again and again,
Adonai will allow you to plunder the enemy, carrying away all of his goods.
