Lead me to the rock that is higher than I

This morning our son shared a powerful message at his church on putting our hope in the rock that is higher than I. Higher than you and I. Higher than what is happening in the earth at the moment, Jesus is the name above every other power, the rock on which we can depend. Why? Because, He is our sure, safe place as He has promised us.

Let these two scriptures be your encouragement today and as you go into the coming week.

Psalm 61: 2-5

From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ³ For you have been my refuge,  a strong tower against the foe. ⁴ I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
⁵ For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Psalm 91

¹ Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
² This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
³ For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
⁵ Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.
⁶ Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
⁷ Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you,  these evils will not touch you.
⁸ Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. ⁹ If you make the Lord your refuge,  if you make the Most High your shelter,
¹⁰ no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.
¹¹ For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
¹² They will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.
¹³ You will trample upon lions and cobras; you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet! ¹⁴ The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
¹⁵ When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.
¹⁶ I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.”
