Psalm 62:2-3a
“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; for you are my refuge…”
There are a number of beautiful
lighthouses on the eastern seaboard. I
have climbed to the top of a few in Maine and North
Carolina . They have been prominently placed along the
shoreline to give warning and guidance to ships in distress, often in inclement
weather.
The Psalmist reminds us today that in
life’s storms, when the heart is faint, there is a rock higher than ourselves
that becomes refuge and help. These
words are echoed in Psalm 46 as the writer says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in time of
trouble, therefore we will not fear.”
Your steps today may be uncertain, the winds of disappointment and
change may buffet, but cling to the rock that is higher than you for there you
will find refuge.
Prayer: Eternal God, Rock of Ages, guide
me safely to find refuge in you today. Amen.
