Daily Devotions
March 23rd, 2015 by Pastor SolleyPs 62:1-7
62 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
This Psalm speaks of waiting on the Lord, of patience on the part of His children. David was one who had to wait upon the Lord many times in his life, David developed patience throughout his life as he waited on the Lord. When we must wait, when we can’t see the end of a matter, when we need patience life is often hard. But have you ever stopped to think of just how patient God is with us? God was certainly patient with David many, many times, and God is patient with us as well. God was patient with us while we were lost, waiting for us to repent and call upon Him. God is patient when we fail him in our daily walk, God is patient when we don’t do the things we need to do, God is patient when our minds go to evil things, God is patient with us day by day. Is it too much to ask then that we wait at times on Him, that we walk in patience?
