Scripture:

Psalm 61:2-3

2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed; 

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a shelter for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.

"A Place of Security"

You can find rest in Him. Notice that David says from the ends of the earth, this is David reminding us that there is no place "too deep" that God cannot hear your cry.  Today, when you cry out in desperation for peace, He will hear you, no matter how deep that place is.  Something greater about this portion he says: "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I."    This is David acknowledging his need for the Lord's strength.   I am not sufficient, but the Lord is; His strength is, His power is, He can put me on "solid ground" when everything is shaking around me, stealing my peace.

Make the Lord your place of security, tell Him your struggles, trust that He hears you and is able to deliver you, and stay near Him.

Listen to it again:

The Rock that is Higher than I (Unshakable Ground, Stable, at Peace)

Maybe today you need the Lord to bring you to a place of peace, stability, to a rock that is higher than you.  Tell Him!

A Shelter For Me (Protection from the enemy)

You want to be protected from the enemy, stay close to the Lord, make Him your rock, your strong tower, a shelter. This speaks of being near to Him, and in your proximity, nothing can touch you.

Lord, we cried and you answered, you hear our prayers, like David reminded us that there is no place too far that you cannot hear our prayers, our supplications, our cries, you are the solid ground we need in our lives, you are the shelter we need, the strong tower, a place of refuge and strength, let us always be near, let us always keep pace with you, in your presence, in Jesus' name, Amen!
