“…when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2
Are you distressed, overwhelmed, perplexed, or even growing weary? If you have never been overwhelmed in life, then you are not alive. Life is hard! And the issues we encounter in our lives can cause us to become overwhelmed in our hearts; BUT thanks be unto God, we have a “Rock” that we can go to. That Rock is Jesus.
This old hymn comes to mind, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand…” Think about it? What is a rock? It’s solid, hard, firm and made of a stony material and/or matter. Jesus is the Rock in which we stand upon! That means we can depend on Jesus to be that solid and firm foundation.
No matter if it is the loss of a loved one, the loss of material or financial substance, stress, medical challenges or screaming children; just know that Jesus is there for us until we are able to stand firm on His promises.
So, be encouraged to know that Jesus is a solid Rock. He is the foundation of our lives that we can stand firmly upon. When we are overwhelmed with the issues of life our cry should be Father “when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
