David is full of superlatives here as he praises God for his protection and for the power God provides David (and all of us!). One passage in particular strikes a nerve:
He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me
he rescued me because he delighted in me
This spacious place is a place I liken to "The Zone" which in sports psychology, is the place you want to be for maximum performance.
I'd like to be in "The Zone" with Christ of course and I know it is possible. It's of course not the same kind of "performance" as I would seek in sports. It's certainly not defined in that way. It is a measure of my heart condition and the degree to which I am experiencing life change or life transformation through my heart condition.
As I go to God in prayer and with my reading, I often pray that God will purify me of my sin and transform my heart and my life. This is indeed my desire.
My Prayer: You are my rock and my refuge. I am surrounded on all sides by worldly temptations and by a world that seeks to tear me down. Even with my own thoughts I face evil. But You alone protect me and for that I am grateful. Thank you Lord! Please DO transform my heart and my life Lord. Guide me and use me for I seek to love, serve and glorify You Lord Christ!
