Scripture
Psalm 62:5-6 5
“Yes, my soul finds rest in God; my hope comes from Him. 6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.”
Observation
David wasn’t saying that things were fine, or that he wasn’t fighting opposition. The verses prior to this declaration, David was talking about how people would try to manipulate him to bring about his downfall. David had experienced the highs and lows of life and chose to walk with God during these times. And not once did he blame God, but instead he put his hope in God. He trusted God to be his salvation, his safety, and his security and because of that he could stand against adversity.
Application
The trials of life come to all people, and I am no exception to that, but like David, I can find rest for my soul, that is, comfort and peace if I give my worries to God.
God as my rock means he is the foundation that I build my life on, and what my feet are planted on. God’s word is unchanging, and his promises are Yes and Amen! God is my fortress means He will surround me, and as my fortress I will not be susceptible to outside influence or disturbance. Even with the obstacles that come against me, I will not be shaken.
Prayer
Thank you for your promises, and for giving us a covenant that was built on bigger and better promises. Thank you for being a loving Father that I can run to, to find rest and safety. Amen.
