Thought for today...
”Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.” (Psalm 61:1-3)
When King David wrote this, he was plumb tuckered out and pushed to his absolute limit. He didn't put on a brave face or pretend he had it all together. He just looked up and told God, "My heart is faint."
Ain't it comforting to know we can do the exact same thing? When anxiety and trouble come at us like a summer storm, we don't have to white-knuckle our way through it. David asked God to lead him to "the rock that is higher than I."
See, when we are stuck down in the weeds, we can't see the way out. But God can. He is our refuge and our strong tower. Think of Him like a sturdy storm shelter during a tornado—completely safe, unshakable, and blocking out the wind.
Next time you feel overwhelmed, just stop, take a breath, and let the Lord lead you to higher ground. He’s already done it for you before, and He will surely do it again.
Have a blessed day!
