| Enlarged |
| “Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress” (Psalm 4:1). |
| Having been through some real trials and tests in my life recently, I have realized something of what it means to be enlarged in my soul spiritually. In my experience, to be enlarged in this way is to have a deeper appreciation of the following… |
| • The Lord’s presence. |
| • The person of Christ. |
| • The hope of His return. |
| • His ways with us. |
| • The grace, mercy and faithfulness of God. |
| • The love of Christ. |
| • The power of prayer. |
| • The power of God’s Word. |
| • The love and care of our fellow believers. |
| When our appreciation of these things is deepened, so is the heart’s affection for Christ. Then we can truly say, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted” (Psalm 119:71). |
