Psalm 62 was shared in staff devotions today. David was facing tough times. He wrote this Psalm while being chased by Saul, and he feared for his life. I like that it reads like a conversation. He trusts God, he is fearful, then he reminds himself to trust again. May it be a reminder for you today.
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. How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down this leaning wall, this tottering fence? Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Yes, my soul, find rest in God;my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on Godcheri-vislay@fcs.school
Press On!
