Psalm 61
Psalm 61
Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
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.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
Increase the days of the king’s life,
his years for many generations.
May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.
Then I will ever sing in praise of your name
and fulfill my vows day after day.
God has blessed us with a forever heritage. He has blessed us with a relationship with Him. He has shown us mercy, He has given us grace and love even though we don't deserve it.
Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we are enthroned in His presence forever. We can be sure that we are continually being led to a Rock that is Higher. We can rest in His refuge and take courage in His strength.
Every day He takes delight in us and grants us new mercies. Everyday He will lead us and guide us - we just need a little faith. We need the faith of this passage. Faith that is certain of His sovereignty. Faith that is sure of our heritage. Faith that knows God listens and cares for us. Faith that knows God will make good on His promises. Faith that leads us to eternal praise.
Let us hold fast to His promises today, to the vows He has made towards us. Let us hold onto His forgiveness and redemption. Let us be transformed by His love and faithfulness. Let us praise Him each and every day as He continues to bless us.
