God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

God Alone a Refuge from Treachery and Oppression.

S -psalm 62

For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.

5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

7 On God my salvation and my glory rest;The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath.

10 Do not trust in oppression And do not vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11 Once God has spoken; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

12 And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, For You recompense a man according to his work. 

O-  this song is a stream of wisdom that is helpful in understanding different seasons in our walk. In this case we see a song from David from a leader who is giving advice from many people of which all that's not wise advice. So David helps us understand the wisdom in putting our trust in God and waiting on him. 

A- The application for me is to understand that during times of great influence I must be careful not to put my trust in myself or the advice that surrounds me slowly. In there is a need for discernment  and deference to God.  This can be especially true and essential during times of trials where in voices and directions externally and internally begin to get confusing.  Seeking to find a place where you can sense the peace of God and hear his voice is the application I would take from today's devotion. 

P-  dear heavenly father thank you for today's devotion me and be sealed to my heart. Lord I pray that you would give me the same discernment and clarity that I am hearing your voice today in times of trials. I pray that as I make decisions and I listen to it advice from others that he would be filtered through your Holy Spirit  and that you would help me make wise decisions. I pray this in Jesus Christ name amen.
