From the end of the earth I call to you, when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I… - Psalm 61:2
This is truly a wonderful verse of the psalm. So many times we feel as though we are sinking in the midst of life. We are met with hardships of a various kinds, or simply overly stretched and stressed. Yet, in the quiet moments of the day, if we take time to pray, we know that God is there lifting us to that rock that is higher than we think we could reach.
For those who have faith, knowing the God of the universe cares for us bring great peace. We know not all feel the peace of God in the trials of life, but as people of faith, we get the great opportunity to share it. We share this peace we have known through our kind words to someone having a hard day, through our actions of kindness and compassion; through our generosity towards those less fortunate. This life can be hard. And this year has made it even harder on so many. I feel blessed knowing that we have made it this far, and know that each day God is lifting us higher, we will see the brighter days ahead!
Yet, on those days when life, again, becomes challenging, we know that God is there to life us high on that rock; our refuge, and our strength. May God’s steadfast love and grace be with you, lifting you higher each day.
Grace & Peace,
Sam
