Psalm 62 - 10.4.24

Scripture ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭62‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

”Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.“

Observation:

God is

• My hope

• My rock

• My salvation 

• My fortress

• My refuge 

Because of this I can find rest in Him and trust Him.  David wrote this when he was under attack. Even though people were against him, he chose to write a song of praise and sing before the Lord. 

Application:

 God wants to give me rest in times of trouble. When things are what seems to be a continuous fight He wants me to trust Him and do what David did, pen a song of praise.  May I go through each day remembering that God fights the battles for me and there are times He brings me to a place of refuge and rest.  I choose to completely trust Him and seek to obey, fighting when necessary and taking refuge to rest when necessary.  I choose to seek Him to know what cause of action to take. 

Prayer:

My Father God, Thank you that you want me to come to you as a my Father. You want to shelter me in your wings. You sent your Son Jesus and provided from my salvation. He paid such a great cost. You also sent the Holy Spirit to teach and guide me.  By doing so you are always with me. Lord, today and every day may I take refuge in you. I know you are my fortress and my rock. I won’t be shaken as long as I trust in you and obey your Word.  Show me when to fight and when to take refuge. Please renew me as I rest in You. Thank you that you grow me in trials. You provide for my needs and even the desires of my heart. What a marvelous Father you are! Amen
