Overwhelmed

Psalm 61:2,3 "From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower againt the foe."


It seems lately that the Lord Jesus has been calling me back to times in my life that he has spoken amazing truths to me. I have shared a few on here already, and again I am priveledged to share something else. I know it's not just for me. When the Lord speaks, he speaks to all of his children.

My personality is one that can tend to get overwhelmed easily. One night as I was sitting in my Philippians class at the Bible college, around eitgh years ago, I started to feel overwhelmed, one of the many times this has happened to me. I was completely overwhelmed with the thought of all the people who had yet to hear the gospel, overwhelmed with the "work" that needed to be done. I don't know how to explain this feeling other than it seemed like a real heaviness upon my shoulders. And then came words from my sweet Savior, "Don't be overwhelmed with all of that, be overwhelmed with Me".

My primary goal, as Paul wrote in Philippians 3:8-10, needs to be to Know HIM. As I become overwhlemed with him, all of the other "stuff" faids away.

If you find yourself overwhelmed today, turn to the rock that is higher. He will overwhelm you with his goodness, his grace, his power, and so much more. All that he is, He wants to pour out on you, to fill you to overflowing. Praise God. He is all we should overwhelm ourselves with!
