Soul Snack 9/18 ... Soul Stampede
The soul is as tender as the body. It too hurts inconsolably and even inexplicably. The soul mirrors the hidden workings of my spirit. It reflects my inner pains and my inner joys.Lost livelihoods, lost relationships, and lost dignity can all crush the soul. When these (and other soul crushers) coincide the soul may well feel as if it has been stampeded.
"The LORD is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." Ps 92:15
Jesus is the perfect rock for the stampeded soul. This is because in Him there is no weakness.
There is no fissure, crack or point of strain because there is no cause for it, i.e. no wickedness. Because He is upright He is fully able and desiring to receive all of my cares.
He can be dumped upon continually and will NEVER crumble from the load I give Him. His strength for me has no 'use-by' date. He can never fail at being MY rock, nor can He be overloaded.
He will never be destroyed.
He will never be crushed.
He will never be stampeded.
Crushed souls will always seek an uncrushable Jesus.
Today Jesus is carrying all things (Hebs 1:3), today it is a simple task for Him to carry you too.
