FIND REST IN GOD

Psalm 62:1-2 New International Version

“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.  Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” 

       Through all the trials and tribulations King David encountered in his life, still he proclaimed that he found rest in God.  All knowing and all-powerful, the Lord is the rock on which believers stand.  God is all places at one time, ever present in our time of need. He provides forgiveness for even our most heinous actions. He is our salvation and our provision.  He is our all in all, all we will ever need this side of heaven. 

         Think of what a fortress is.  Stone walls many feet thick to provide protection from unwanted intruders. It represents stability and security and can be relied upon.  Unlike God, stonewalls can be breached.  God can never be breached.  God will never give way.  God will never fail.  God is God; the Almighty Jehovah, Creator of the universe and all that is in it. 

          When standing for God you are never alone, for with you stands all the power and authority of the One who was and is and ever shall be.  Nothing can harm you and nothing can overtake you if you but place your unwavering and unyielding trust and reliance on the One who made the stars.  Find rest as David did in God and God alone. For true rest is found in no other.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
