When hard and ugly things happen, things I can't explain or understand, and it's hard to feel anything but the waves of hurt and pain, I know Who holds me. When so much seems unstable and unpredictable, especially me, I know Who is the One who steadies me. When it's hard to pray or even think clearly, and nothing comes easily except the tears, I know Who comforts me.
I know all these things, yet I need to be reminded. I need to hear it again and again.
Psalm 61 is an incredible reminder of His promises. "Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer....when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a strong shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy....So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever..."
Jesus, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. Lead me to You.
May you too, be led to the Rock this Christmas season.
