Faintness of Heart and Parental Protection
How apt this Psalm is for me today (Psalm 61:1-5):
61:1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2 from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
3 for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
My heart is indeed faint in this season. I am so glad that even with the faintness of heart and the waning of heat spiritually, that the reality of redemption is clear. There IS a Rock higher than I, and the psalmist knows it all too well. I am like the psalmist in this verse – pleading with the Redeemer to take me higher….place my feet upon the Rock that does not change.
The desire to be “Home” with the Lord is mine as well – the need for a refuge, as an eaglet to its Eagle, may God bless me with this “parental protection”.
The heritage that He has given is a great Salvation that has been wrought from above. Praise the mighty name of God this day, oh my soul.
