Psa 61:1-2a, HEAR MY CRY, O GOD; ATTEND TO MY PRAYER. FROM THE END OF THE EARTH I WILL CRY TO YOU, WHEN MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED;
David often cried out to the LORD! Some may believe crying is a sign of weakness, but David was a strong king and warrior! But David knew where his strength came from! THE LORD!
Exo 15:2, The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Psa 61:2b, LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS HIGHER THAN I.
When our hearts are overwhelmed and we don’t know what to do or where to go; CRY OUT TO THE LORD FOR HE IS THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION! WE WILL NOT BE MOVED!
Psa 89:26, He shall cry to Me, ‘You are my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.’
David, being king, knew the highest place to be was at the feet of the LORD; for HIS ways are perfect and just! Trust in the LORD!
Deu 32:3-4, For I proclaim the name of the LORD: Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.
Psa 61:3-4, FOR YOU HAVE BEEN A SHELTER FOR ME, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I WILL TRUST IN THE SHELTER OF YOUR WINGS. SELAH
Like a bird protecting her chicks from danger, David wanted to be as close as possible to the LORD! He was remembering all the times the LORD protected him gave him shelter from his enemies! THE LORD IS ALWAYS WORKING IN OUR LIVES!
Joh 5:17, But JESUS answered them, “MY FATHER HAS BEEN WORKING UNTIL NOW, AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING.”
Psa 61:8, SO I WILL SING PRAISE TO YOUR NAME FOREVER, THAT I MAY DAILY PERFORM MY VOWS.
THE LORD IS STRENGTH AND SHELTER TO THOSE THAT SEEK HIM, AND TRUST IN HIM! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED! SEEK HIM DAILY FOR HIS TIME IS NEAR!
