Are you hurting today? Has the trials of life overwhelmed you? Has the enemy come in like a flood and you can see no way of escape? Psalm 61 says "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." (Psa 61:2)
The end of the earth is a very remote place. I would imagine that if you are dwelling at the ends of the earth that you are cut off from everything. Perhaps your circumstances have cut you off from everything? Perhaps you are in the lonliest and most frightening place you have every been in? And yet we see, even from that place one can cry out to God. Even if you have taken the wings of the morning and now dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, you can cry out to God and He will hear you.
Perhaps you have made your bed in hell? You lie down, paralysed by fear and the darkness that is all around you. Even in this place you can cry to the Lord, He will come to you even in the deepest darkness because even this darkness is light to Him. He is calling you back to Him, He is saying " come to me, cry out to me, take my hand and come up to higher ground." ...... Bro Frank
I AM YOUR HIGHER GROUND
The tears of my heart are falling
And each drop is a part of me
My heart is thoroughly broken
Oh my Father in heaven cant you see
My heart lays wet on my pillow
I am wounded and broken inside
I try to hang on to what I have
Yet the floodgates are opened wide
The cry of my soul is to heaven
Yet the flood of my heart rises still
Who will heal my heart of this rupture
I have swallowed a most bitter pill
In the midst of this flood that is rising
I am overwhelmed by what I can see
I shut my eyes and cast them to heaven
And the Lord says " keep your eyes upon me.'
Be still my child and trust in me yet
I have captured each tear in my hand
I see your afflictions and troubled heart
Upon I alone you must stand
For when the enemy comes in like a flood
And there's no hiding place to be found
I am your refuge and strong high tower
I am your higher ground
Come away with me in the midst of this storm
Will you place your heart in my hand
Trust in me oh child of mine
And together, you shall surely stand
