Tuesday, July 29: The Rock That Is Higher Than I

I call upon you from the ends of the earth with heaviness in my heart; set me upon the rock that is higher than I. -- Psalm 61:2

Isn't that a wonderful image? From the Psalm appointed for this morning's Daily Office, this verse is a reminder that God is always there to hear our prayer even from the remotest ends of the earth -- even when we are experiencing "heaviness of heart" -- even when we are "down." In those moments when we need a boost, we can turn to God and ask God's help in bringing us to that "rock that is higher than I." Only God can bring us to that place where we cannot go ourselves -- only God can boost us beyond our own limitations and bring us to that rock "that is higher than I." Have a blessed day! Don+
