Day 61...(Leviticus 16; Psalm 61)..."The Rock Higher Than I"

Perspective is one of the greatest attributes of one growing in their walk with the Lord. A perspective of joys, problems, and even crisis all beckon us to keep life in perspecive. How do we see beyond the daily matters? Prayer, study, worship, and expansive conversations with others help us see the view from 30,000 feet above. Our spiritual growth must have an element of perpective regarding the overall view of the journey and destination. How do we find this larger view?

The Psalmist gives us an answer in one of my favorite passages... "Lead me to the rock higher than I" is a wondeful passage about perspective. A rock is solid as a foundation (Jesus teaches about this in the parable of the wise and foolish builders) The Psalm lifts up a rock as place of both foundation and inspiration. When we are in need of a greater perspective, the Lord provides rocks us to see beyond the immediate concerns and worries of the day.
