Does your life feel hurried?
Are you hustling from one thing to the next?
Or worse, does it feel like you’re drowning in deep water.
Struggling to take the next breath?
If so, you aren’t alone.
That’s exactly how David felt when he penned Psalm 18.
The good news is, when David cried out to the Lord, the Lord rescued him.
God pulled him out of the deep water and brought him to a spacious place.
God may not immediately change your circumstances, but there is a promise for you in this passage. God is inviting you to live differently. To order your life in a way that leads to spaciousness and rest.
As you meditate on this invitation from God, allow the Spirit to help you notice something from these words that applies to your life.
Once you’ve listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, head over to the next episode and listen to the interview with Ashley Hales, author of A Spacious Life. We discuss how to trade hustle and hurry for the goodness of limit.
