Mon., 9/15/08 Devotion (Ps. 62:1)

Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 62:1, where we read these words:

"Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation."

A "silent" soul is often a good thing. It has nothing to say, or do, but to "wait" for God. There is no question in David's mind (above), but that the Lord would save him. The only thing to do was to wait
"silently."

Take a few deep (spiritual) "breaths" today, and seek to stop the clamor going on in your heart and soul. Recognize what (and more importantly, Who) is truly important. Trust God that He will meet all your needs, in Christ--and then approach life with more confidence, all based in faith.

[Puritan quote of the day: "Suffer we must. Before we were born, God decreed it; and it is easier to complain of His decree than to change it." --Samuel Rutherford, in "Letters of Samuel Rutherford"]
