An Overwhelming Place In An Overwhelming Time

King David Is Overwhelmed

‌Psalm 61

61:title To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

‌1 Hear my cry, O God;Attend unto my prayer.

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.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me,And a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever:I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows:Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life:And his years as many generations.

7 He shall abide before God for ever:O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever,That I may daily perform my vows.

‌

From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].

Note: The Psalmist Declares He seems to be at the end of the earth..Extremely Overwhelmed!‌

John (Chapter 15)

4 Abide in me, and I in WHO?you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.‌

5 WHO?I am the vine, ye are the branches: WHO?He that abideth in me, and I in WHO?him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: WHY? (CAUSE/REASON)for without me ye can do nothing.‌

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather WHO?them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

‌

Job

‌Overwhelmed & Submerged In Pain, Loss and all of its anxieties. Job Kept Faith In God! He allowed God to lead him to a place that was higher than where he was at.

‌‌

Would You Permit God To Lead You?

‌Allow the Great Shepherd ‌To lead you to a place you could not get on your own.

‌

Way above where you have been.

‌Past the overwhelming of the stress of life into the overwhelming Presence of God!

‌

Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

The Place God Has For You!
