Scripture: Psalm 61:2 “from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.”
Here David is calling out to the Lord, remembering times that his heart has been faint yet he was able to lean on the Lord. David says “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I” Two things about this jumped out at me. 1 is that by calling it a rock higher than he is saying the issue is bigger than he can resolve. Often when we are in a troubled situation we tend to lean on our own strength. David recognizes that the solution is higher than he can reach and asks for God to lead him to that place. 2 Throughout the New Testament we see that Jesus is our rock, our foundation. The rock that is higher than I would be Jesus. In times of trouble for you and I we would need to be lead to Jesus! I want to be lead to him so that he can be my helper, my strength, my portion, my refuge, my hiding place. Jesus is my all and he is the rock that is higher than I.
Lord let me turn to you before I’m in over my head, before I’ve exhausted all other measures. Help me to have a mindset of you first. I want to rest in you when things get overwhelming because you are my rock and tower from my enemy. I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.
