“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.” - Psalm 62:1
This is a Psalm of David. Knowing the harrowing dangers that he endured during his reign as King of Israel, this first verse reveals where David’s real strength lies; it lies in his God. David is confident that his life shall be saved and his soul will find rest in God and in God alone. Lasting peace and rest can be found in no other.
This provides a valuable lesson to us as believers today. During our walk with Christ we must come to the realization that true contentment and rest can be found only in a right relationship with God. It’s a growth process that sees us mature spiritually. The longer we walk with Him the more our faith and trust will grow. As an outcropping of that faith and trust we begin to accept the provision and sustenance that God provides. We recognize it for what it is. We can rest with confidence that our God will save us from that which attempts to ensnare us. As we place our full reliance on Him, we will find rest for our salvation come from God and God alone. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
