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.
