My soul waits in silence for God only. (Psalm 62:1)
Who do you trust? At the end of the day, where is your confidence, your faith, your dependence? For David, it was in a singular source.
Spurgeon called Psalm 62 the “only” Psalm, for the word is mentioned six times in its twelve verses.
David had no mixed reliance. He had not built on a foundation partly of iron and partly of clay; it was all in harmony throughout. It is a blessed thing to wait only on God. You have proved everything else a failure, and now you hang upon the bare arm of God alone (Spurgeon)
As you evaluate your faith, is it “God and?” God and others. God and the world’s ideas. God and my best thoughts thrown in. God and some money. God and a clear path. Or simply: God. Are you vainly clinging to the idea that you need more than Him?
Rest in God alone my soul for my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong srock. My refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times. (Psalm 62:5-8)
Take stock of your faith. Lay aside all that is not of Him (for all else can fail and He cannot). Rejoice that you have been brought to the end of yourself and that you have been cast alone on God. It is the safest place to be and the most effective. The most joyful life is there for “in His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11).

Every created man or woman must make their choice. What will you do with God? Will you embrace or reject Him? Draw near or run away? Trust and serve Him or doubt God and serve yourself? This foundational choice determines everything.

Realize you are surrounded by Him. He is beneath you, beside you, above you. Where can you go from His care? What are stronger than His arms? More sufficient than His supply? What enemy is stronger or threat more powerful than He who sits eternally on the throne?

If you have questions about how real, how present, how personal and intimate the Lord is, then just read six words of travelogue in Luke’s journal as he traveled with Paul.
