Overwhelmed

"When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I." ~ Psalm 61:2

From Charles Spurgeon's Morning and Evening -

"Most of us know what it is to be overwhelmed in heart; emptied as when a man wipeth a dish and turneth it upside down; submerged and thrown on our beam ends like a vessel mastered by the storm. Discoveries of inward corruption will do this, if the Lord permits the great deep of our depravity to become troubled and cast up mire and dirt. Disappointments and heart-breaks will do this when billow after billow rolls over us, and we are like a broken shell hurled to and fro by the surf. Blessed be God, at such seasons we are not without an all sufficient solace, our God is the harbour of weather-beaten sails..."

Do you know what he's talking about? Have you experienced this?

This past weekend I was honored to play and sing "Oh You Bring" in our church service with a good friend. It's a beautiful, simple song about how the Savior seeks and saves . . . and how He deserves all honor, glory and praise. The passage above from Spurgeon and the song below from Hillsong contain much encouragement, insofar as they are full of the truth of God's Word.
