You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
19 He
brought me forth [yatsa'] also into a large place; [merchab] he delivered [chalats] me,
because he delighted [chaphets] in me. KJV-Interlinear
19 He
brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted
in me. NASB
The world tries to hem you in, choke you off, squeeze you, crowd you, destroy you. The world tries to restrict your thinking, limit you options, make you conform to its standards.
While all the while the world tries to convince you that you are progressive, liberated, free to express yourself, have more options and opportunities than you could have otherwise.
And it is all a lie. The true intentions of the world are to discredit truth and keep you in the dark as to the real dangers that surround you, never realizing that you are being flooded and surrounded with such an onslaught that you could never break free.
And then, for those who persevere in doctrine, God plucks you out of danger and sets you truly free.
God, through doctrine brings you to a real place with real elbow room, and real options and real opportunities, and real flexibility.
But God does this not for arbitrary reasons, but because He is delighted in the person who possesses doctrine.
Bible doctrine, or truth, is the real object and target of Gods love. Anyone who has doctrine in their soul, anyone who has pursued their spiritual life, anyone who has real spiritual growth, becomes the object of Gods eye not because of their dust makeup, but because of the truth content in their soul.
Doctrine, is the true target of Gods blessings. When you possess doctrine within your soul, then you are blessed by association with that doctrine. Since you as a mature believer, possess doctrine, and all of the spiritual paraphernalia that accompanies it, then you likewise become the possessor of its blessings.
This will be clarified in the next verse.
The realm of truth is far more vast than anything in or on this earth. More options, more opportunities, more of every good thing, exist with truth.
Good decisions, open more doors of opportunity. Bad decisions close all doors.
Bible doctrine, studying it, learning it, utilizing it, possessing it, is the good decision.
