“When my heart is faint... Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
~Psalm 61:2
Most of us know what it is to be overwhelmed in heart, emptied like when a man wipes a dish and turns it upside down, submerged and thrown on our beam-ends like a boat mastered by the storm. Discoveries of inward corruption will do this, if the Lord permits the depth of our depravity to become troubled and cast up mire and dirt. Disappointments and heartbreaks will do this when billow after billow rolls over us, and we are like a broken shell thrown to and fro by the surf.
Blessed be God, at such seasons we are not left without a sufficient solace: Our God is the harbor of weather-beaten sails, the hostel for forlorn pilgrims. He is higher than we are, His mercy higher than our sins, His love higher than our thoughts. It is pitiful to see men putting their trust in something lower than themselves; but our confidence is fixed on an exceedingly high and glorious Lord. He is a Rock since He doesn't change, and a high Rock because the tempests that overwhelm us roll far beneath His feet; He is not disturbed by them but rules them at His will. If we get under the shelter of this lofty Rock, we may defy the hurricane; all is calm under the lee of that towering cliff. Sadly, the confusion in which the troubled mind is often cast is such that we need piloting to this divine shelter.
Hence the prayer of the text. O Lord, our God, by Your Holy Spirit, teach us the way of faith; lead us into Your rest. The wind blows us out to sea-the helm does not answer to our puny hand; You alone can steer us over the bar between the sunken
rocks and safe into the fair haven. We are totally dependent upon You-we need You to bring us to You. To be wisely directed and steered into safety and peace is Your gift, and Yours alone. Tonight be pleased to deal kindly with Your servants.
~C.H. Spurgeon
"As long as we surrender the will to God,
and trust in His strength and wisdom,
we shall be guided in safe paths,
to fulfill our appointed part in His great plan".
~The Desire of Ages, 209.2
Dr. Simon Mills is the top herbal medicine expert in the world.
He just revealed 5 common kitchen ingredients that work better than prescription drugs.
These cost (almost) nothing and are incredibly effective:
1) Dark chocolate
Dr. Mills has treated over 10,000 patients using these methods. Quarter of them living with cancer, third with autoimmune diseases.
He said "I can't do anything about the sea and the waves, but I can help you build a better boat."
I agree with this as well.
Dr. Mills' "garlic intensive" protocol:
→ 8 raw cloves over 4 hours (do this alone on a Friday)
Chop each clove, swallow with water without chewing. Wait 30 minutes between doses.
By morning, you're oozing garlic oil. It kills bad bacteria while feeding good gut bacteria.
Safe, effective home remedy for menstrual cramps in women:
- GINGER.
• Crush ginger rhizome in a mortar with a pestle.
• Stir into a glass of warm water.
• Drink.
- It is safe and better than painkillers, which corrode the stomach lining.

Education is the acquisition of knowledge, while intelligence is the ability to use that knowledge to think and reason.
One can be highly educated but not necessarily intelligent, and vice versa.
