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).

How important is this "word of reconciliation" that has been entrusted to us? There simply is no greater, more important word. Every person around you and their eternal destiny depend upon receiving this word

All of us are dramatically shaped by how we view ourselves. Some have too low a perspective; some too high. To be imbalanced here is harmful in either direction.

We spend our lives trying to gain certain things and are full of joy when we get them. Our first car, our first job, our first home. Reputation, and prestige, and influence. The list is long. But is it possible to have all those things and not have the most important thing?
