Lead Me

Hear my cry, O God;

Attend to my prayer. 

From the end of the earth I will cry to You,

When my heart is overwhelmed;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.*

David's heart is overwhelmed, the children of God are, surrounded by their enemies. The rock that is higher, is a strong tower and shelter, David remembers, "For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy." He has been overwhelmed before, he has cried out before, and God has been faithful, he is trustworthy.

High ground is a stragetic advantage over the enemy. God led us to this high point, the one higher than we, above our intelligence and power. Does it matter who or what the enemy is? whether an adversary, sickness, suffering, death... or less it doesn't when the heart is overwhelmed. Surrounded by flood waters, overwhelmed, if I go this way or that way I might make it, to high ground, but I cry out to you, the Rock that is higher than I, lead me Lord.
