My Salvation And My Honor

Depend On God

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 God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62:1-8

When we want something and we cannot get it, we often complain and demand. At other times, we give up and move on if what we want cannot be quickly gratified. “Wait” is a word we hate to hear! Yet, many times the Bible tells us that God wants us to wait on Him for the right timing.

Waiting on God means patiently looking to Him for what we need. David recognized why he had to wait on the Lord. First, his salvation came from Him. He learned that no one else could deliver him. His only hope was in God, for God alone hears our prayers.

Our prayers often revolve around asking God to hurry up and bless what we want to do. What if God simply tells us, “Be patient! Wait upon Me.”

Each morning I bring my requests to you Lord, and I wait expectantly. We can trust His response, even if it doesn’t come in the time we expect.

The bottom line of every prayer should be, “Your will be done.”
