Living With Expectancy

“You enlarge my steps” Psalm 18:36
“You hem me in – behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.” Psalm 139:5
“Where can I go from your Spirit?” Psalm 139:7

“You live your life with the expectancy that Christ will fill you with His power in the days to come and will “Stretch” you to do things in His service that you have never done before.”
This is how Blakaby ends the devotional this morning and what an encouragement for us at this time! God is in control; God will enlarge our steps; God has us hemmed in; God’s hand is all powerful and a safe haven! Let us persevere to see the hand of God in each and very moment; in each and every interruption; in each and every crisis…
“for darkness is as light to you.” Psalm 139:12

May God, our Rock and Redeemer, give us both comfort and courage as we face the unknown. Let us join together and be bold in the picture of God having us hemmed in –we are safe!! “For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?” Psalm 18:31
Let us savor the hope of Christ; this anchor for our soul and enlarge our tent so that others will be drawn to our precious Savior and Lord. As the Christmas story reminds us in Matthew, “They will call him, Immanuel – which means, “God with us”.
