5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honour depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
The three verses above are encouraging words from Psalm 62. Written by King David, who was a fugitive at the time,
fleeing to save his life.
fleeing to save his life.True character often shows itself in times of trial and this was the case for David. His trust in a time of intense trial was in God.
I recently read, and quoted one Sunday morning, words written by someone who had gone through a desperate time of personal trial. The point they made is that rather than weaken their faith, it strengthened it.
This is what they said. “Yet, there was one thing I knew for certain: God was still with me. No, I could not see Him or sense Him. But I held on to the hope that knowing Christ had instilled in me: that I could go nowhere from His presence, His care, or His grace even when I felt utterly, desperately weak and broken.”
Somehow, in the most ironic way and despite everything falling apart, my confidence in God actually deepened.
I wonder. Does this describe you?
