Sabbath in the PsalmsSample

Looking Upward For Strength

What do you do when your heart is faint? Where do you turn? Rather than settling in the lowlands of worry, anxiety, or insecurity, you can seek the higher place of security in God. This is the gentle, confronting whisper of Sabbath—the Lord is listening to His people, even from the ends of the Earth, so when you call on Him, He is ready to respond. Do not be dismayed if you feel you have slipped away from God's security or that life's circumstances are looming and you cannot find your way back to resting in Him. Like David, cry out to God to help guide you back to Himself, the Rock. He is your refuge and your strong tower against anything that may threaten to come against you.

Reflect & Apply

Look up at the Rock that is higher than your current circumstances. Take some time to reflect on what you might need to let go of today to anchor your heart in the refuge and strong tower that is God.

Prayer

God, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. Let not my circumstances and feelings take me away from You, but steer me once more to your strong refuge.
