1 Kings 20:1-43; Jeremiah 32:1-25; Hebrews 3:1-19
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. Psalm 61:2, NKJV
There are times in all our lives when the circumstances of life come over us like a dark cover! Actually that was the original meaning of the word “overwhelmed”. When David was deeply troubled he determined that from wherever his circumstances, he wanted to be led to the Rock that is higher than he—higher, stronger, well able and wanting to help him. David’s God is your Lord and Saviour too. Go to Him! —Ray Jones
Oh, safe to the Rock that is higher than I,
My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly,
So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine would I be,
Thou blest Rock of Ages, I’m hiding in Thee. —William O. Cushing
