The Psalms are the prayers of King David during the most
overwhelming times of His life. His trials and problems always brought Him to
his knees.
He knew when He was overwhelmed and had reached the limit of
what he could endure, to cry out to the One, who can bear all things and give
us rest.
We too can cry out to that same
Rock – to Jesus Christ, our rock of deliverance, our rock of defense, our rock
of salvation, our rock of our strength.
David cries out “Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”
Notice our job is to cry out to God in our distress and the job of the Holy
Spirit is to lead us to Jesus.
if you are overwhelmed today, if your circumstances are more
than you can bear, cry out to Jesus – to the Rock that is his higher than you
and higher than your circumstances, higher than all your problems .
He will
deliver you. He will bring you to a place of rest, strength and victory.
Psalm 18:46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let
the God of my salvation be exalted.
Psalm 27:5 For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in
His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift
me up on a rock.
Psalm 40:2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out
of the miry clay, and put my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.
Psalm 62:2,6 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my
defense; I shall not be moved.
