Are you at the end of the earth ?

[SANTOSO]

We have heard David prayed :

Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; -Psalms 61:1
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, -Psalms 61:2

why David considered himself at the end of the earth ?

I'm guessing it's hyperbole for he's in danger or far from safety , I'm probably wrong and hopefully someone can explain it much better. I

Sometimes it is possible for a person to get sick of themselves in this flesh. Such a thorn in the side, pains the human.

Oh how my own life has been at the edge of the earth to the point of only desire of wanting the pain and suffering to end yet... in my prayers God keep me from going back to those things that were such a thorn that plagued my mind, soul, and heart. May the goodness of what your use for me be used for your purposes oh Lord God, though my desire of wanting to leave this earth, may you make use of me towards others be for the good of your kingdom while I live.

Maybe this is what is being referred to... we must stand on that foundation that Christ Jesus has laid for us, that can not be swayed by wind, or burned down by fire.

Keep in contact with God... Lord Jesus Christ... and allow the spirit to help as you call out for the strength to overcome the things of the flesh that can plague us such as being not worthy, or that we feel we are unusable, or that we start to slide into hating ourselves, or others.

Call out to God for help with anxieties, self-control, insecurities, whatever is plaguing you... even in sickness, and almost near death... hold on to faith.

Rejoice in all the people God has allowed you to meet, see, talk to, love, and care for. Rejoice in all the the people even the bad you had may have done, that they learned not to be like you when you once were that person. Rejoice in all that good people learned from you, that you may had done for them (by the spirit after turning your life towards God) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the Glory of God.

God is strong enough to help... believe and do not doubt.

Are not many at the end of the earth have their hearts fainting ? Do we not cry like David ?

This is what we have heard:
Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; -Psalms 61:1
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, -Psalms 61:2

Why David asked God to lead him to the rock that is higher than him ?

This is what we have heard David have said :
For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble;
He will conceal me under the cover of His tent;
He will lift me high upon a Rock. -Psalms 27:5

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the LORD. -Psalms 27:6

So David asked God to lead him to the rock that is higher than him so that the Rock will hide him in His shelter in the day of trouble and conceal him under the cover of His tent. Then when David is lifted up, his head will be lifted up above his surrounding enemies.

Who is this Rock ? This is what we have heard:
and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. -1 Corinthians 10:4

So those at the end of the earth, will you ask God to lead to the rock that is higher than you ?

Just as Christ have hidden David in the day of his troubles, so He can hide us in the day of our troubles.

Just as Christ concealed David under the cover of His tent, so He can conceal us under the cover of His body.

Just as Christ lifted David’s head above his surrounding enemies, so Christ can lift our heads above our enemies all around.

So what have heard from Christ, our Rock :

16 “I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star. 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come — let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.” - Revelation 22:16-17

So whoever who is at the end of the earth, will you come ?

Let us hear more and more people why David considered himself at the end of the earth.

Let us find how his words moved by the Holy Spirit enlighten us.

This is what we have heard what David have said about those who dwell at the end of the earth:

so that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy. -Psalms 65:8

That is why David considered himself at the end of the earth so that he can be in awe at God’s signs in his life.

So will you rejoice at the Lord’s goodness for what He will do to those who dwell at the earth of the earth !

Hear God’s voice :

"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. -Isaiah 45:22

I did not expect that Santoso. Seems like my conclusion was right, from post 4, which ended in rejoicing! Thank you for the scriptures.

 

[SANTOSO]

Dear brother,
Holy Spirit reveals this to me as I meditate His words.
May the Spirit of His Word encourage all of us in Christ Jesus when we are fainting like those who dwell at the end of the earth.
For our God is Father who saves His children.
Let us love Him abundantly.
