“LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I!”

 Psalm 61                                    (ESV)

Lead Me to the Rock

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.

    [1] Hear my cry, O GOD,

        listen to my prayer; 

    [2] 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”, 

    [3] for YOU have been my refuge,

        a strong tower against the enemy.

    [4] Let me dwell in YOUR tent forever!

        Let me take refuge under the shelter of YOUR wings! Selah 

    [5] For YOU, O GOD, have heard my vows;

        YOU have given me the heritage of those who fear YOUR NAME.

    [6] Prolong the life of the king;

        may his years endure to all generations! 

    [7] May he be enthroned forever before GOD;

        appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

    [8] So will I ever sing praises to YOUR NAME ,

        as I perform my vows day after day.”

“LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I” is longer than I generally think is appropriate for a devotional title?  But because I am so “faint” because of of the path GOD is leading me through, I find it necessary to admit my inability to get through life in general without HIS INTERVENTION!  

LORD, I NEED YOU to “LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I” because me EYES aren’t able to SEE THE WAY I should move without YOUR GUIDANCE!!!
