“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness (uprightness, justice, and right standing with You)! You have freed me when I was hemmed in and enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me and hear my prayer.“ (Psalm 4:1, AMPC)
“Pressure on the outside should make us bigger on the inside …
David discovered that what was important was not the circumstance around him but the attitude within him. Let God enlarge you when you are going through distress. He can do it. You can’t do it, and others can’t do it for you. In fact, others may want to make things even tighter and narrower for you. But when you turn to the Lord and trust Him, He will enlarge you on the inside. You’ll come out of your distresses a bigger person because you’ve trusted in the Lord.”

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot and Sunday Scripture Blessings .
I love this truth. Even though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are accumulating an eternal weight of Glory that far surpasses anything!
Interesting way of wording it. I like it. (Made me think of Doctor Who!)
