Psalms 61:1-5 Psalm 61
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Of David.
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
I often remind myself and others that David was not called the apple of God’s eye because he was perfect, but because he knew where to turn when he sinned. There is a certain peace that accompanies the knowledge of where to find relief, whether it be from battle without or struggle within.
Jesus is the Rock of our salvation and our strength. He lifts us high above the heads of all our enemies. He hides us in His Pavilion, in His secret dwelling place, where we behold the beauty of his face.
May we, today and everyday, turn toward Jesus regardless of our struggles and our fears.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
