Podcast Introduction

Our reading today is Psalms 60-62, and I’m calling the episode “Be Quiet.”

Comments on Psalm 62

“1 It is surely true that I find my rest in God.” NIRV

I believe that the NASB is a better translation: “1 My soul waits in silence for God only;” NASB

Sometimes, the very best thing we can do is come before God and…just…be quiet. FB Meyer wrote, “This is why God keeps you waiting. All that is of self and nature must be silence; one voice after another cease to boast; one light after another be put out; until the soul is shut up to God alone.”

Our natural inclination when we are in great need is to *do something*. We feel that “if it to be, it is up to me”. But if we have that mentality, we are not putting our faith in God. 

But David said, “1My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. 2He only is my rock and my salvation…”

Beloved, there is no better place to go for deliverance from any circumstance, any hardship, any trouble. Throughout this psalm, David expresses his complete confidence in God. I like the way Spurgeon put it: “Observe how the Psalmist brands his own initials upon every name which he rejoicingly gives to his God – my expectation, my rock, my salvation, my glory, my strength, my refuge; he is not content to know that the Lord is all these things; he acts in faith towards him, and lays claim to him under every character.”

Our confidence is well placed when we lean on Him. There, we can find complete and enduring rest.
