THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER
Written by David, this psalm cried out to God to lead him to a place that was safe and secure. When his heart was “overwhelmed,” perhaps by the attacks of enemies or by the disappointments of life, David cried out for a place where his heart could find rest and his clouded vision could be cleared.
We can pray like David. We can ask for the “Rock that is higher.” For we have access to that Rock, which is Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 10:4). He invites all those who are “weary and heavy-laden” to come unto Him and to find rest for their souls.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we are surrounded by so much change and challenge that we don’t know how to manage it. It overwhelms us. Yet You are able, Lord. For You are the Rock of Ages, the eternal and unchanging God. We turn our desire for control and overwhelmed hearts to You. Take control. We surrender afresh today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
