When We Hit Rock Bottom

When we fall very low and sink and sink into the pit, the highest joy and relief is ours when we suddenly realise that at the very bottom is Jesus, the Rock of all ages, waiting to hold us up safely and renew us.


Meditation:


Deuteronomy 32:3 4


"I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Oh, praise  the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, His works are  perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does  no wrong, upright and just is He."


Psalm       40:1 3


“....He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm  place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of  praise to my God. Many will see and fear and put their trust  in the Lord."


Psalm      103:1 5


"Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being,  praise His holy name....who forgives all your sins and heals  all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and  crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your  desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like  the eagle's."
