As I continue on this journey of working through unfathomable hurt with God's help I was given some verses today about who my God is. It's easy to focus on circumstances, but what I really need to focus on is my God.
" Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
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.
For Thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Thy tabernacle forever: I will trust in the covert of Thy wings.
Selah."
Psalm 61:1-4
The passage starts out with, "My heat is overwhelmed." There is no better way to describe to what I'm feeling right now. Even in my prayers at times all I've been able to pray is, "God, I'm overwhelmed!" I just love how the imagery in these verses describes to me who my God is to me. God is a rock to me and not just a rock, but a rock that is higher than me. When I am on a rock higher than me I'm no longer encompassed by my troubles, but rather I'm looking down on them. God is also a strong tower to me, a fortress, my enemies can't reach me to hurt me. And finally, my God covers me like a hen pulls her baby chicks to her and covers them with her wings. I can rest securely covered by my Heavenly Father.
