2 Samuel 22:20 (NAS)
He also brought me forth into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.

2 Samuel 22:20 (NRSV)
He brought me out into a broad place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Satan tries to keep you hemmed and squeezed into a small, tight place. He often pushes you between "the rock and the hard place." He wants you to believe that there is no way out of any adverse situation. He tries to change your thinking to his way. He lies and tells you that there is no way God can deliver you; the enemy says that it is impossible.

You, however, know that nothing is impossible with God; the only requirement that you have is to believe it. God desires to take you from that narrow, confined circumstance. He desires to deliver you to a broad and roomy place. He wants you to go forward. Instead of looking at that "rock and hard place", look to the Rock and put your trust in Him. Go forward into that wide expanse that Adonai has promised you-- a place where you will be enlarged and receive abundance.

God always promises to come to your aid when you look to Him for help; for He delights and takes pleasure in you. Not only will He deliver you, but He will also equip and arm you for future confrontations. He will make you strong, bracing you up with His word and His Spirit. Instead of being defeated again and again, Adonai will allow you to plunder the enemy, carrying away all of his goods.
