Lead me to the Rock

Psalm 61[a]
    
 1 Hear my cry, O God;
   listen to my prayer.
 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
   I call as my heart grows faint;
   lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
   a strong tower against the foe.
 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
   and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

When times are bad, and you have cried your tears till you are dry, then what do you do?  The Psalmist sang, 'Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.
Who is this Rock?  It is Jesus.  He is the only firm footing that we can trust.



When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, to the Rock of my salvation.  Help me be still, to let go and know Jesus.
Lead me to the Rock, who is much stronger than I.

"For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock" (Ps. 27:5).
