Glory In God

Our God is a great defense. Sometimes He comes quickly to our aid. Sometimes it seems like He is taking a long time. But God’s timing is perfect. We have to rest and trust in Him. In Psalm 62 the writer speaks of trusting in God alone, that He is our rock and our salvation. He goes on to say to his soul to wait in silence alone, for God is the one in whom he has an expectation.

Waiting for God can seem hard at times. However, we can speak to ourselves as the psalmist does here, and encourage ourselves to wait for God alone. God will deliver us in His time. And that deliverance shall be great. God does not set His people up for failure. In fact, we are encouraged by the psalmist to not trust in riches if they come, but to remain trusting in God. This can also be hard because we live in a world that requires us to navigate things like bills, the costs for food and medicine, and the like. If we have lived in lack for a period of time, but then the deliverance comes, it can be easy to trust in those monies. Let us not do that, because they can leave again. Let us trust in those things that endure, like the love and peace that passes all understanding from God.

God will always deliver His people. Always. Rest in this.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You, O Mighty King! Thank You for always delivering us from those things that try to beset us. Thank You for watching over us, protecting us and delivering us from all oppression and need. You are a Mighty King! We give You all glory for Your magnificent works among men! In Jesus name. Amen.
