That Rock!

We all have felt overwhelmed at one point or another. Maybe its the responsibility at home, work, friend or even family(traffic also tops the list). I remember at one point i felt so overwhelmed that i kept asking myself what is the point to all this.

Life has a way of sometimes pulling a first one on us. One minute we are totally fine and the next our world crumbles around. Disappointment and heartbreaks are just a few of those 'life' moments.Billow after billow we feel it rolls over us and we feel like a broken shell hurled to and fro by the surf.

BUT despite this, we have an all-sufficient solace around us. He is the harbour of our weather beaten sails, a refuge to the lonely pilgrim and a shelter.

......lead me to the Rock that is higher than I Psalm 61:2

 He is the rock that is higher than us. His mercy is higher than our sins, His love higher than our thoughts. He is that impenetrable Rock, the unchanging One. I am encouraged to know that no matter what happens to us, there is nothing to overwhelming for Him. He is not disturbed by them but He rules them at His own will.

Only when you understand that because He is great, you can be great. Because He is love, you will love others and yourself. Because He is all powerful, you can live without limit. Because He is unshakable, you can endure the most trying times and remain unshattered.

It gives me great comfort to understand that no matter what i face in this life - Expected or unexpected- God is sovereign enough to change is all for my God and the best thing is......Nothing is too difficult for Him.So the next time you feel overwhelmed, ask him to lead you to the Rock that is definitely higher than you.

So as promised, here is a one of my favourite songs for those 'overwhelming ' moments :)
