At our wit’s end

At our wit’s end

Ps. 107: 27-28

They reel to and fro [going in circles]

and stagger like a drunken man [faltering and about to fall]

and are AT THEIR WIT’S END [all their skill and wisdom has come to nothing].

Then [AT THEIR WIT’S END] they cry to the Lord in their trouble, [brought to their knees]

and He brings them out of their distresses. [God’s exceedingly great and precious promise!]

Pray the Word:

Lord, there comes a time when we’re AT OUR WIT’S END – at the end of our self-sufficiency – the place where our own skill and wisdom has come to an end – we’re perplexed, having done all that’s humanly possible to do and there’s still no escape, no help, no deliverance and we’re left staggering in our faith and courage saying, ‘what now’?  .  .  .  .  .   Does it not, ironically, work in our best interest to be left in the place where we’re past our limit to endure  .  .  wholly dependent on You to save us .  .  if that brings us to the END OF OURSELVES, and we find that You have been waiting there for us at the END OF OUR WIT’S all the time?
