Psalm 61:2
"MOST of us know what it is to be overwhelmed in heart;
"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;
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,....our God is the harbor of weather-beaten sails, thehospice of forlorn pilgrims.
His mercy higher than our sins...... If we get under the shelter of this lofty Rock we may defy the hurricane; ...
The wind blows us out to sea,
the helm answers not to our puny hand;
Thou, Thou alone canst steer us over the bar between yon sunken rocks, safe into the fair haven."
Charles Spurgeon
