The Rock that Is HIgher than Us

UV 3635/10000 The Rock that Is Higher than Us 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). Psalm 61 v 2 God honours our faith whether we cry out to him with a loud persistent shout, a gentle whisper or a silent sigh. He inclines His ear to our mouths to hear our whispers. Wherever we go, He goes there before we get there, even to the end of the earth. Often in life, when we are overwhelmed by the force of circumstances over which we have no control ( like in the current pandemic), people from the ends of the earth call out to Him, whether they know Him personally or not. In our weak moments, He leads us to Christ, the Rock that is higher, much higher, much stronger than us, much wiser than us. God being infinitely holy, loving and powerful cannot be reached by us directly but by climbing onto the Rock of Ages, Jesus, we can reach out to the Father in heaven who hears our every cry. Christ is the Rock and the ladder to heaven, the stairway on which angels mount and descend. He leads us by the hand, rung by rung of our lives. He adds days to our years and makes our years seem like many generations as the Psalm promises. In short, He multiplies our productivity over time. As Jesus is enthroned forever before God, the Father, Jehovah, the Great I Am, and He appoints angels of loving kindness and truth to watch over and preserve us not just from Covid 19 but from every conceivable trouble or trial. He is the only One who knows the end from the beginning and He can promise victory even before we go through any situation or circumstance. When we belong to God, He undertakes to prolong our lives, to end our misery, our troubles, whatever these may be. He is the Rock we cannot access by our intellect, our good deeds, our abilities or our wisdom. We can access Him only by grace. In His great love, He reaches down to us, however lowly we are. He is the mountain that comes to us in the midst of our afflictions. He lends us His strength, His power, His wisdom to endure, to overcome, to emerge victorious. Since we have this confidence in Him, we can always rejoice regardless of the circumstances. In fact, we will find that our stance of faith in the Rock determines and shapes our circumstances. We discover from the lives of historical figures that nothing in this life can be conquered or mastered by virtue of human intellect or bravery or strength or wisdom or ingenuity but with the help of the CPR, Creator, Protector, Rock, everything is possible.
