Honey Drop 43: The Delight That Delivered

eejoseph,

“He brought me out into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.” — Psalm 18:19

The scene in HD

  • He brought me out.  
  • He rescued me.  
  • He delighted in me.

Three verbs.  One rescue.  And the last is the reason.

The comfort – the tension

The psalmist had been hemmed in. 
Crushed. 
Chased. 
But God did not just intervene. 
He desired.

This was not pity. 
It was pleasure. 
Not obligation. 
But delight.

The drop

God’s rescue is not reluctant. 
It is rooted in joy.

He brings out. 
He snatches away. 
He sings over the one He loves.

The wide place is not earned. 
It is gifted. 
Because He wanted me there.

Closing Flash

The rescue was real.  The reason was love.  And the wide place still echoes with delight.
