I Shall Not Be Shaken
For
God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my
rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
How
long will you assail a person, will you batter your victim, all of you, as you
would a leaning wall, a tottering fence? Their only plan is to bring down a
person of prominence. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their
mouths, but inwardly they curse.
Selah
For
God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him. He alone is my
rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my
deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
Trust in him at all times, O people, pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.
Selah.
Those
of low estate are but a breath, those of high estate are a delusion; in the
balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. Put no confidence
in extortion, and set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, do not set
your heart on them.
Once
God has spoken; twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God, and
steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For you repay to all according to their
work.
Psalm 62:1-12
So
what do you do when you have the blues, those times of dark discouragement?
Light up your heart through prayer. Pour out your heart to God when you are
overwhelmed. Take your anxieties to Him in prayer, then look back later and see
how he repaid you. Light up your mind with truth by reading the Word of God
every day. Let His truth challenge, permeate, and transform your incorrect
thinking that life is hopeless. Light up your life by doing God’s will. His
will for you is to worship and serve Him. Stay involved in
your church where you worship and fellowship with others and serve Him.
This will help you grow in your trust of God.
When
we feel darkness begin to close in on us, we need to turn to Jesus, the Light.
He will be a refuge and give us the strength to keep going.
You won’t stumble in the dark
if
you walk in the light of God’s Word.
