We read Psalm 62 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. I believe that this one is going to be a real blessing to someone today! Or many someones!
Psalm 62
To the Chief Musician; according to Jeduthun [Ethan, the noted musician, founder of an official musical family]. A Psalm of David.
1 For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. 2 He only is my Rock and my Salvation, my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be greatly moved.
3 How long will you set upon a man that you may slay him, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They only consult to cast him down from his height [to dishonor him]; they delight in lies. They bless with their mouths, but they curse inwardly. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5 My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. 6 He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved. 7 With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God! 8 Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
9 Men of low degree [in the social scale] are emptiness (futility, a breath) and men of high degree [in the same scale] are a lie and a delusion. In the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath. 10 Trust not in and rely confidently not on extortion and oppression, and do not vainly hope in robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 God has spoken once, twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God. 12 Also to You, O Lord, belong mercy and loving-kindness, for You render to every man according to his work.
There will ALWAYS be people who do not want to hear the Message that God has commissioned us to share! When people fail to appreciate you, or even when they give you problems, REMEMBER where YOUR help comes from! Use Psalm 62 to remind yourself of this valuable and powerful TRUTH! AMEN! And also ALWAYS remember that God's Word will NOT return void! The seed that you have sown is being continually brought up to those you have shared with and others whom you do not even yet know! Keep watering that seed with your prayer and, if not before, on REWARDS DAY in heaven you will see just how much was accomplished when you THOUGHT that nothing happened!

Shalom in Him!
