”They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” | Psalm 107: 27-29

We only really cry unto The Lord when we are at our “wits end.”

”And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;” (Exodus 3: 7)

We are only at our “wits end” when we have no other option available to us.

”Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.” (Psalm 17: 1)

There is no other strategy, no other plan, no one else to help, no other way out.

”Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.” (Lamentations 2: 19)

We are brought by the miracle of grace to our “wits end” when the glorious person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ is our only hope.

God’s grace begins at our “wits end.”
