Psalm 61:2-3 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.
[3] For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
David wrote this Psalm while hiding from his enemies on the prowl to kill him.
No doubt he recalled the amazing victories of killing a lion, a bear, and a giant; knowing “Only God” could’ve helped him. Those thoughts increased his faith.
Have you ever had “Only God” moments? I often have.
Many years ago Gale was stationed overseas with the Air Force. He called me every Saturday. I had two small children and it was Wednesday and I urgently needed to talk to him but didn’t know how.
I was at work that day, and he called me. “I don’t know why I’m calling,” he said, “but Something told me to call you,”
Think about your “Only God” moments and perhaps those you knew nothing about. That’s shelter that God gives. It increases your faith. Trust Him.

“I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender. — They're leading me in paths that I must trod. — I'll have no fear when Jesus walks beside me, — For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
Chorus:
“So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise; — They won't worry me, — for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God. — He walks with me and naught of earth shall harm me, — For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
“Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals, — “Come home, my child, it's the last mile you must trod.” — I'll fall asleep and wake in God's new Heaven, — For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.”
