Key Verse: 62:1-2
“Only in
God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him. Only God is my rock and my
salvation—my stronghold!—I won’t be shaken anymore.” CEB
Our rest comes from God. So often we see the
peace we need, the rest we need in other places. We seek it in our friendships,
in our governments, in the our entertainment and sometimes we seek it in food.
We want so many things to fill us with that which only God can provide. God is
our rest, God is our salvation. It is in God and God alone we will find that
which we are truly seeking. Two things which help us make it through anything,
and all things, strength and faithful love are found in God. Trust God the
Psalmist calls to each of us. Let us find our rest in God. Let us fall back
into the peace which only God can provide. When the world is chaos, and fear,
when we fear we might be swallowed up by the hurricane of life which swirls
around us, we can rest and rely on God. Trust God, lean on God. Know the
steadfast love of God is always moving in your direction and working to bring
you through.
Things to Think on
In what ways is it hard
to trust God today?
What chaos is swirling
around you that you need to turn away from and find rest in God?
What would rest in God
look like for you today?
A Prayer for Today
Lord, so much is going on today. So many things are circling. So many
voices; so much chaos in this world, it is so hard to find you in the middle of
it all. Show yourself today. Help me to find rest in you. Help me to trust you
today. Be my strength and give me you peace. – Amen
