Get Me Down

Scripture

Psalms 61:1-4

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.

Observation

Oh no I am stuck
I fled to the trees in fear
Get me down from here
~Get me down Haiku

Application

When i was a kid, I climbed high up in a tree because I thought I had disappointed my dad. He came to assure me he loved me and talk me down only to find that I was stuck. So he climbed up and carried me down.. I have found myself hanging on in situations even as an adult. I run and hide from the world. Like my earthly father, we have a Father in Heaven who will come and find us. He will reassure us He loves us and try to coax us out. If we are really stuck, He will climb up and carry us down.

Prayer

Lord, thank you for climbing all the trees to carry me down when I am stuck! ~Amen
