Lead Me to the ROCK that is Higher than I...

IMG_1945

" 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." Psalm 61:2

I am so thankful to have such a loving heavenly Father that cares for me today... and each and every day! Have you ever felt your heart overwhelmed? Do you have a safe haven where you can turn to?

Oh, what a joy to have a permanent unchanging shelter... a shelter you can run to from the overwhelming pressures of today. My heart was filled with joy as I read this psalm... Psalm 61. A psalm where each Christian finds rest for their weary soul.  Trusting in the shelter of the Almighty.

God alone is the strong tower, the ROCK in whom we trust.  What peace we have when we trust in our Heavenly Father. Trusting that HE will make us rich in mercy and truth...

We can be confident, as His children,  that we are most rich... rich in HIS unbounded love for us. And what a delight to be given the inheritance of salvation. "  The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." Psalm 16:6

Let us be confident and wait on the LORD ... for from HIM cometh our salvation! So let us  sing praises unto HIS name for ever and ever.

When my heart is totally overwhelmed,


Lord, pick me up and help me stand.


Give me strength and take me by your hand,


Heal my heart  you alone can mend.


~


Help me to know by your mercy I stand,


Every moment every hour you show your power.


You are the fortress, the shield, my strong tower,


The horn of my salvation, held only by your hand.


~


I sing my praise to you, 


My rock and my deliverer.


You are the strong tower,


My hope is in you .


~


I can trust in your mighty wings,


To shelter me from the storm.


For when  the waves begin to form,


My heart  finds peace under your Almighty wings.

May you cry out to God . When your heart is overwhelmed, trust in HIM.
