Scripture: "He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me; because he delighted in me" (Ps. 18:19).
And what is this "large place"? What can it be but God Himself, that infinite Being in whom all other beings and all other streams of life terminate? God is a large place indeed. And it was through humiliation, through abasement, through nothingness that David was brought into it.--Madame Guyon
"I bare you on eagle's wings, and brought you unto myself" (Exod. 19:4).
