Dig Deep

     Digging Deep is what you have to do when people or circumstances have ripped you open, when all the surface strength you had has been evaporated by life's noon day sun. The most difficult and the most blessed day of your life will be when you reach for your energy reserves and realize that you are tapped out. Difficult because in that moment of time you have to face the awful truth, that you can't handle everything that life can throw at you.
     Blessed, because it will force you to look for other sources of strength. One of the Psalms I have prayed often in my life, is the opening verses of Psalm 61: Ps 61:1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
Ps 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
     Where does life find you today? If you are in over you head, why don't you reach up, to the reaching down hand. From the words of an old song:

Reach out and touch the Lord
As He goes by
You will find He's not too busy
to hear your heart's cry.
He's passing by this moment
Your needs He will supply
Reach out and touch the Lord as He goes by.

Head to higher ground and keep your fire burning.
