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. A silent soul 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."
Let us all take a few deep (spiritual) "breaths” today; and seek to stop the clamor going on in our hearts and souls. Let us recognize what (and more im-portantly, Who) is truly important. We should trust God that He will meet all our needs, in Christ; and then we may approach life with more confidence, all based in faith in Jesus.
[Puritan quote of the day: "Suffer we must. Before we were born, God de-creed it; and it is easier to complain of His decree than to change it." --Sam-uel Rutherford, in, "Letters of Samuel Rutherford"]
