Your Favorite Open Space

What is your favorite open space?

Is it a mountain top, a valley, an ocean shore? Is it an open field, the desert, flying high in the sky, being in the middle of the ocean, or somewhere else? Open Spaces This music idea originated from Psalm 119:45 in The Message — “And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom.” Recently I ran across this as well, “We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand—out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory” (Romans 5:2). I have always loved a marvelous vista or panoramic view. The mountains are my favorite, but ocean shores and cliffs, canyons, gorges, and long range meadows are not far behind. For me, the incredible heart rush I get from a breathtaking sight is symbolic of the spiritual high and spiritual peace God offers when I press into His grace and truth. He reveals things worth “seeing.” The next time I see a favorite open space, will I ask God to give me a glimpse of His love and grace toward me?

    I loved the mountains! Standing at the top of a mountain you have just hiked up and looking at the world from the top. It is truely glorious! I don’t see how anyone could deny there is a God from the top of a mountain! ( and thanks for the free album download! Such a wonderful surprise!)

    I love the mountains, but I also love the beach. And you can’t beat the pastures on our farm. Just being out in nature always makes me feel closer to God.
    Thank you for your music. I just recently discovered it thanks to the Chris Fabry Live show. It really speaks to me and calms my soul.

      Those are some good ones Jan. You’re welcome for the music, and thanks for your support! So glad it is calming for you. Plans are in place to record a Good Friday program with Chris Fabry in April, which will air on Good Friday, April 18th.
