This is defined in scripture as "when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I." This precludes a number of things.
- I feel like I am drowning.
- I have somewhat lost my way.
- The journey out of here must be lead by the Spirit.
- The direction of that journey is uphill.
- God's heart in this is that I come to The Rock as a solid place in my life and circumstance.
There are times in your life, for your growth and development, and because of your cry for God, He allows a situation to come upon you that causes in you a sense of being overwhelmed. It is not God forsaking you, although it definitely feels that way in your emotions. It is God answering your cry for Him and a deeper knowledge of Him. Can He not do this by revelation to you, is your question? Yes He can and sometimes does. But, in saying that there must always be an anchoring of that revelation in and experiencing of the Word's operation in you.
This experiencing of His applied Word in you, gives you authority in the given dimension of testing. Job was thrown in the "deep end of the pool". His only way to deal with it was cling to what he knew of God and let everything else shake. It caused him to ask multitude of questions and shook him until he said, "Though God slay me, yet will I trust Him."
Even though it is quite a journey through this, Job never lost his trust in God and he did come out on the other side with a greater understanding and revelation of God. I pray that we too come to that place in our current circumstance.
I cling to, "will not the judge of all the earth do right?".
