Psalm 31:8 “You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.”

[Praise you, Lord Jesus, my Savior, my Redeemer, my Protector and Guide, for you brought me out of the prison of sin and self into a spacious place of love, joy and peace. At the dawn of a new year, like in this picture, I can know that you have prepared all for me.

And you did this because you delighted in me—against all reason, all odds, all facts–you delight in me, your former enemy, your rebellious son, your uncooperative child.

I praise you that your love is not dependent on my performance, but upon your unchanging, rock solid Character of holiness, purity, love, wisdom and mercy that triumphs over justice.

To you be endless glory and honor, Lord Jesus, for your great work of salvation, your continued work of sanctification and your future work of re-creation. May you be honored in all my responses to the little things of today as I actively trust you.
