Word Wednesday by KM Wilsher

This will be the last Word Wednesday until September. Regular posts will be put on hold for BLOG DAYS OF SUMMER, KM Wilsher's Summer 2009 Series. I am excited for summer and the summer series, but will miss some of the regular posts.

No crossword puzzles, vocabulary or word games, but on Word Wednesday I want to talk about what we are reading in the bible this week. It’s not a Bible study, sermon or deep devotional, just a place to reflect on a verse or passage that may have touched us this week.

I am reading in Revelation this week and there is much encouragement there. Lots of encouragement to "overcome" and I need that right now, for sure. However, I was parked at my friend Ashley Weaver's facebook page yesterday, and she had this verse on her profile:

He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. Ps.18:19

Something clicked inside of me when I read it. He delights in me? Me the sinner, the one who makes all these mistakes and seems to have such an unmanageable life? Of course, he does.

Suddenly I found myself in a "spacious place". My heart swelled and peace overtook my emotions. . .

What are you reading this week?
