Open Space.

Genesis 26:22 (AMP)

22 "And he moved away from there and dug another well, and for that one, they did not quarrel. He named it Rehoboth [room], saying, For now, the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

  For us to enjoy our lives, it is essential to have "room" to move around. We need space to feel comfortable and at ease. Being "boxed in" isn't something the Lord our God wants for us. He wants us to enjoy the freedom of the space around us so that we can grow and prosper.

The Lord creates "wide open space" for each one of us so that we can improve and thrive. Praise and Honour and Worship to the LORD our God, we thank You, Jesus, for giving us the "room" to move in. Even when our faith is as little as a mustard seed lets, grow in this open space. Matthew 17 verse 20 says: "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." We serve a merciful God, giving us space and room to move in, with our faith at hand.

Prayer

Lord thank you for our "Rehoboth" in our lives, as people, we need to have open space and because You have given us this space, please help us in being fruitful in our endeavours, bless our hands and work in Jesus Name. Amen!
