Psalm 61

Lead me to a rock that is
high above me,
for you have been a refuge for me,
a strong tower in the face of the enemy.

The oft-repeated plea of David is that God would continue to be his refuge –

• A rock, high above.
• A place of safety, easily defended; with a vantage point that sees the enemy approaching.
• A refuge.
• A place of safety for rest, provision; a place of comfort during battle.
• A strong tower.
• A place easily defended and impenetrable.

Lord, be these for me!

Be my Rock: high above the turmoil of this world.
My refuge: you are my resting place, all my provision.
My strong tower: Lord, you are the safest spot for my vulnerable soul.

I trust only in you, Lord. Today, lead me to that rock, be my refuge, my strong tower.
