Read Psalm Chapter 62
Key Verses: Psalm 62:1-2, 5 and 8…
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.
3 So many enemies against one man—
all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall
or a tottering fence.
4 They plan to topple me from my high position.
They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face
but curse me in their hearts.
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.
9 Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales,
together they are lighter than a breath of air.
10 Don’t make your living by extortion
or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.
11 God has spoken plainly,
and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to You;
12 unfailing love, O Lord, is Yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done.
PRAYER:
Father? Will You help me have the courage of David? His enemies were constantly after him, but no matter how difficult his circumstances were, he understood that You were his victory, You were his place of safety. I may not have the type of enemies as David, even his own son went to war with him. But I do have attacks from the enemy, the types of attacks that draw my focus off of You. Like David, help me wait quietly before You, remind me that You are my victory, my rock, my salvation and my fortress. As I continue to put my trust in You, my humble prayer is that I will also put all my hope in You and in You alone. Amen.
