Psalm 18:9-10 says, “He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy…” Verse 19 ends with, “…He delivered me because He delighted in me.”

David was overwhelmed when He penned Psalm 61. Verse 1-2 are a great template for us when we are overwrought, in despair, or overwhelmed. It says, “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; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

Jesus is the Rock Of Our Salvation. When we cry out to Him in our struggles, He brings us into His sheltering love. Think of Deuteronomy 32:10. Though this is speaking of Israel, we can apply it to our situation. “…He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.” We also are cherished and protected.
