I wonder when was the last time you Cried unto God. So burdened for a soul, concerned for a loved one, concerned about your service to God, concerned about where you stand. Lamentations says this, about crying unto God. Lamentations 2:18 Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
Jeremiah was broken about the situation of Jerusalem, He was concerned about the condition of the nation. He not only felt the despair but saw it first hand, He was weeping about the stand the the people of God have forsaken. The difference was that his heart was rent in despair. He was concerned to the point of weeping.
Where are we in our concern for our nation, our state, our county's, our city's, our streets and our neighbors.
David in Psalm 28:1 is crying unto God, His confidence was in his God in that he refers to God as His Rock. David here refers to God as a rock because it signifies that as a rock God is a place Of refuge, The rock also represents strength, a strong place, to be in the place of God is to be secured in His strength. As David cries unto his God He is proclaiming that he needs no mans help. He addresses the comforter, He addresses his savior, his Help and his Friend.
David knows that he to could be put in a position that there is no help. he knows what it feels like to lose because of sin, ( he lost a son because of adultery, He lost a daughter, and older son as well,) David knew that he is human and weak, but yet he knew that his strength was with God, So with that he cried. How aweful for a child of God to get so far away from God that To feel lonesome. David didn't want that, I don't want that. And I know you don't want that.
So with that I will Pray like this. Psalms 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.
