Take this day as an opportunity to catch up on your reading, pray, and rest in the presence of the Lord.
He brought me out to a spacious place;
He rescued me because He delighted in me.
—2 Samuel 22:20

Good Morning (Afternoons), My She’s (friends!)
I am in such mixed emotions at the moment…I am really excited to kick off my new small group that I am leading that started this morning! I was anxious and nervous beforehand with an upset tummy, BUT it went great! I had 15 people which was really big! lol. It is wonderful to get to meet new people and know that God led them there for this specific time in their life! On the other hand, I have some family and friends going through some big trials right now. My heart hurts for my son and his breakup.
I am so glad that we can look to God and know that it is all in His hands, His will be done. Of course this is a promise for His children, and we are ONLY children of God when we make that choice to accept Jesus Christ! Nothing else can satisfy us, bring us out of the pit, and give us peace among the caus. The study I’m doing is Free Of Me, by Sharon Hoode Miller! We have freedom in Christ! We Praise you!
See you all in Beatitudes! At the beginning of the year I made it a goal to memorize scripture from then on out! So far I have about 4, BUT the beatitudes, Mathew 5:3-11 counts for more than one in my mind!! Also, if you want a great way to help remember them, there is a song by Elevation Worship featuring Pat (someone) “This is the Kingdom,” that says them in the lyrics! :)
The part that always gets me – “He delighted in me”! The same goes for when I read Zephaniah 3:17 – I can’t fathom how God delights in me, a sinner saved by grace – but praise God, He does!
@Searching – I always claim Psalm 40:1-3 as my testimony! He lifted me out of the slimy pit, set my feet on a rock and established my goings! So thankful for God’s grace and the new song He has put in my mouth!!
I have enjoyed revisiting all these familiar hymns of my growing up years. Look forward to the two week study on the Beatitudes!
Have a blessed weekend y’all! Praying the rain stays stopped for the 2:00 wedding today…this is the rainiest spring/summer/fall that I can remember, here in the north east!
…… because HE delights in me. How beautiful is that sweet She. It’s rainy and cloudy here in sunny California as well and little cooler than what I’m used to. Fall is definitely upon us. But I have to say it’s such a cool and delightful morning even though the sun is not up, it’s not too cold, and I can hear the birds singing and it’s just a beautiful morning. Looking forward to run this morning. I do have enjoyed this past two weeks with all of you and looking forward to the Beatitudes. Would appreciate prayer as I’m waiting for some finances to come which are much needed. My daughter needs some dental work, and a couple other expenses that are needed. Thank you.
I enjoyed these two weeks. Looking forward to the Beatitudes. Here in the northeast we are having our 4th or 5th rain soaked weekend in a row. May the “Son”, shine on you and your loved ones.
Don’t have in my contacts… thought the verse said He brought me to a SPECTACULAR place. Didn’t He, though?!?! It was hot here in NW Missouri yesterday, but we have the doors and windows open this morning, and His creation sounds SPECTACULAR!
See you for the beatitudes, SEARCHNG, and my other sweet sisters… have a beautiful grace day!
2 Samuel 22:1-4-
“David sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul.
2 He sang: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.
He is my refuge, my savior, the one who saves me from violence.
4 I called on the Lord, who is
WORTHY OF PRAISE and he saved me from my enemies.”” (CAPS mine)
I have so enjoyed this time with you SHES and look forward to BEATITUDES on Monday!
SEARCHING – love that verse! ❤
SEARCHING – great study thank you. See you in the Beatitudes❤️
So thankful He rescued me!
Psalm 40:2
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
Looking forward to The Beatitudes on Monday.
LAURA – praying for your time away to recharge! For the study you chose, there is a matching one on HRT if your husband is interested. Praying for your family in this difficult and painful season.
Praying over last week’s requests, sisters.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your delight in me. ❤️
Grace day always arrives when I need it most. I feel mentally exhausted and physically drained. Each day of the Coronavirus pandemic brings more horrific news. It’s so easy to feel despair. To feel depression. To feel lost and helpless. God rescued us because He delighted in us. ♥️ Lord, thank you for always being there. I will use every ounce of my energy to focus on what I CAN control. Help me use my gifts to serve others during this time of great suffering. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
Grace day it is, and always will be. today, till the end.
❤️❤️
What a great gift to know that god delights in me, that he loves me so! I love this verse! I love this community, this app, all the quiet times I already had and will have with the plans were and will be great! I thank the Lord for this community and this verse and his amazing love❤️
To think that God knows me personally, delights in me, and that Jesus died for me – what a wonderful knowledge to have.
wow! thank you church mouse!! you definitely gave me a bigger perspective!
What an awesome word I am thankful for God grace everyday he woke me up with a clear right mind he is worthy to be praised . Grateful that God brought me out of trails and tribulations although storms may come there is power in the name of JESUS praise God .
What a great visual Churchmouse! You are a blessing!
I had to have an MRI of my head once. That’s the day I discovered that I can get claustrophobic. So when I read that the Lord brings me out to a spacious place, I know the relief that comes from just that. I felt like I was being tightly squeezed in a very small space. All I could see was the tube in which I was enclosed. My vision was sorely limited and all I was aware of was me. And the loud clanging of the machine. It frightened me then. It makes me tremble even now. Ah… but when I was released from that machine, my vision was enlarged and I became aware of all that was beyond me. It was suddenly quiet and there was nothing to fear. This Scripture this morning reminds me that it is the Lord who provides relief from the tight places in which I find myself. He rescues me. He brings me out into the open. He draws my sight to Him. He provides all I need to take a deep breath and relax in His spacious place. AND He delights to do this for me. How awesome is that?! I pray that whoever today is feeling small and squeezed , overwhelmed with the loud noises clamoring around you, that you would know absolutely that He WILL bring you out. Because He loves you. He actually delights in you. So call on Him. Right now. His arms are open wide. Step into His hug. He’s got you.
Thank you for sharing-this is a great example of this verse in action! I’ll be meditating on this Truth all day.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Churchmouse! If you are not in ministry already, you certainly are here. Your practical way of allowing us to see the scripture more clearly is certainly a gift. Thank you for allowing God to flow through you!
Agree with Sharon. What a beautiful interpretation Churchmouse. Thank you, as this is just a reminder of where I’ve been and where I am today all because of His grace.
Amen!! What a great way of bringing this scripture to life and for the beautifully encouraging message! Thank you, churchmouse!
You probably won’t see this as I’m posting late. I love your application of this verse.
I wanted to pass on a trick I found while in that MRI monster. I close my eyes and sing hymns or whatever worship songs He brings to mind. No, not out loud. Spending the time with Him in worship and prayer makes the process much easier/sweeter.
Needed to hear this…thank you. ❤️
Wow! The Lord always knows exactly what I need to hear. Thank you for letting him work through you by sharing your story.
Wow. So good. Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful truth!
So needed this encouragement today, thank you churchmouse for being God’s vessel. God is so faithful!
Thank you Churchmouse. That is Avery timely encouragement for me and my family. Xo
Such a great nugget of TRUTH of who we are in Him!
After trying for a child for a year after a devastating loss, today brought the promise of a baby in July. We are in a financial mess, & in debt. No health insurance. Fear (not from God but the Devil) crippled many minutes of this day.
This verse. THIS. I burst into tears while reading this verse!!! How I felt the pouring out of His love over me!! Not only will God bring this baby into the world healthy and smoothly, but he will bring me out of this debt like He has done so many times before. Thank you God for everything you are. I love you so!!
Also, thank you to this community of women. I love each one of you & pray for the encouragement & love that He freely gives to fill your hearts this day. Please remember us in your prayers throughout this pregnancy. God is so so good. ❤️
So happy for you, Heather! And yes, I will pray for you every day! I can’t wait to hear all that the Lord surely will do for you,
Churchmouse, I often pray for you. Your insight and comments continue to bless all of us!
As do I….always give thanks for your wisdom!
Heather, so happy for you. Will be praying for you. Hold tight to the truths that God provides.
Oh, Heather! Good news, great joy! I love how tender our good Father is towards us, ordering our steps so we see the encouragement we need just in the moments we need it most. You are so loved, sister. Praise God that He is going to make provision in your life to climb out of debt! Praise God that He will protect you and your child as he or she grows strong! Prayers for you, beloved!
Praying for you and your family! Your joy is a joy to us all, a lesson to never lose faith and the Lord will provide when He sees fit
Heather, your news is very exciting! God has a plan for you and this precious gift! We are praying for you!
May God continue to shower His love upon you, dear Heather! May He bless, keep, and bring peace over your family and little one as you walk in this season.
Manna for a new day!
