Letting Him be My Rock

I have to be honest here... there are some trials going on over here.

Major trials.

Upturning the peace trials.

Could send me into a pity-party kind of trials.

BUT

Not the kind of trials that are outward in appearance...

or the kind that is obvious to an outsider looking in...

Sometimes our trials are from within.

Just swirling inside of us.

Well - that is me these days.

As I sit and try to quiet my spirit before Him one of my favorite scriptures keeps surfacing...

Psalm 61:1-4

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

From the end of the earth will I cry to You, 

when my heart is overwhelmed and fainting; 

lead me to the rock that is higher than I [yes, a rock that is too high for me].

For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, a strong tower against the adversary. 

 I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever; 

let me find refuge and trust in the shelter of Your wings.  

Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

 It is only IN HIM where my peace can be found.

And although I don't FEEL peace - 

I know that He IS peace.

 He is my refuge. 

I will hide myself in You, precious Savior and let You be the Rock for my spirit!

Amen?  Amen!
