Need Encouragement?
Psalm 62:1-2; 5-8 For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of David.
1 I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7 My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8 O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God for my hope is in him”
For some of us we are surrounded by quiet, and yet the quiet can easily be filled with anxiety, loneliness or disappointment. For others, quiet is not an option because the current situation is placing higher demands on us, either work or family or both. But when we take time to carve out these periodic moments of quiet, waiting and resting in God, He will provide the hope and strength we need to meet the demands of the day – whether a day filled with a flurry of activity or a day of isolation and loneliness. It may be only a brief moment or maybe it’s an extended time with God, either way God knows our reality and will gladly meet us in it.
Our God is our rock, our fortress and in Him I will not be shaken. We can trust Him, we can pour our heart out to Him - the anxious thoughts, the discouragement, the disappointment, the frustration, the concern for ourselves and others. He is our refuge, a place of shelter, protection, and safety.
Take a moment to sing or play your favorite worship song, thank Him for being your rock and fortress and that He is with us each and every moment. Then share a word of encouragement with someone.
