“For
God alone my soul waits in silence;
From
him comes my salvation.
He
alone is my rock and my salvation,
My fortress:
I shall not be greatly shaken.”
Psalm
62:1-2 (ESV)
These are the words of David.
“For God alone”
David had a special relationship with God. Yes, we know
David was human. He sought forgiveness from the LORD.
Only God, through Jesus,
forgives us of our sins, we should await His guidance for our lives. Like
David, we should seek forgiveness from God and then from others.
“my soul waits in silence”
David sought out the LORD patiently, quietly, expectantly
waiting for the guidance he needed.
We should learn to wait for God. He sometimes speaks in whispers;
therefore, we should learn to be silent before Him.
“He alone is my rock and salvation”
Only God is David’s strength and He is the only one who
saved David from his sins.
God gives us the strength
to go on when we are ‘down’ physically, emotionally, and mentally.
“my fortress”
God was David’s stronghold against Saul and against his
own sons.
God is the strong front when we face difficult, even
traumatic times.
“I shall not be shaken”
David realized that God would uphold him as he faced
those who opposed him.
When we rely on God and wait
for His guidance and leading, we, like David, will be able to stand firm for
what we believe.
This spoke to me this afternoon. Next Tuesday afternoon, I have an appointment to see a specialist at a hospital in Indy. I can feel God's presence and the prayers of all those who are praying for me. Our son, Roger came home Saturday afternoon and stayed until Sunday afternoon. Please pray for us. God is in control.
Thank you for this message and update. Praying for you all the while, and will especially next week when you meet with the specialist. You know that God is with you and He is going before to to prepare the way. You are being carried by Him and He will never let you down.
