Psalm 61:2
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.
Eric ran back and forth behind the crowd. The
parade was coming, and he really wanted to have a good spot to watch it from.
Everyone was so much taller than he was. Wherever he went, somebody was
standing in front of him. In frustration, he began to cry. Suddenly, two strong
hands lifted Eric up and placed him on shoulders high up above the mass of
people. From the vantage point of the stranger's shoulders, the entire parade
was easy to see.
Sometimes we need a boost. Problems loom too
large, and we can't see our way around them. Pressures build up, and we don't
feel big enough to cope with them. God sees all that and He is ready to lift us
up; to give us a new vantage point. Reach up to the Lord, and He will lead you
to Himself, a rock which is higher than any problem we might have.
Prayer: Pick
me up, Lord, and hold me in Your loving arms. Protect me from the pressures of
the day, and remove the heaviness from my heart. Inspire me with the knowledge
that You and I together can handle anything. Amen.
