What's your first response when faced with challenges? I often react with a sigh and spiral into a cycle of despair, getting stuck in a rut. However, that's not the response we should have. David's experience in Psalm 62 teaches us a better way. When faced with adversity, David chose to wait upon God, who is his Rock and Salvation.
Psalm 62:1-2, 5-7 AMP says:
"For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved."
"My soul, wait only upon God and silently..."
"He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved."
"With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God!"
Would you choose to wait on God when:
- You can't figure out the solution?
- You're unsure what the problem is?
- You've tried everything, but it's still not working?
How would you wait? I often find myself waiting while complaining, tearful, and overwhelmed. But I've learned that focusing on God's faithfulness helps me see His power and sovereignty.
God can be your refuge, and He wants to be. Instead of seeking something extraordinary to fill the void, remember that we're allowed to wait on God – not in vain, but with expectation, knowing He's our salvation and rewards us according to our works.
Today choose to wait it out on the rock that never fails.
Stay Revived!
