If you look closely, you’ll see a Bible there on the love seat. That’s where I sit every morning to read and pray. Today’s verse was thought provoking.

 ….thou hast enlarged me in my distress…..

Psalm 4:1 (KJV)

I began to think about my situation. God’s word tells me–in the ancient Elizabethan tongue–“Enlarged me”. It doesn’t mean physical size, but the spiritual. And yes. He has enlarged me. Never have I felt the loving, comforting presence of my Comforter more than when I was in distress. Do I ask for the distress? No. Yet, there He is. My loving God nearer to me than any family member. Any friend. He’s there when I’m awake at 3:00 am in the morning. Though He is unseen, I know He is there. Sad with me. Weeping with me. Joyful with me. Life is full of “distress”, yet He is there. That’s all we need to know.
