But I come to the place... after attack and battery wear the spirit... deception cracks the foundation of faith... and I hear the singer of songs... belt out a verse... preaching to his own soul...
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Psalm 62:5-7 ESV
The world... with all its troubles... the enemy's lies... and the broken believers who walk alongside... has the potential to shake... rock our world...
These are times... when by faith... with much bravado... and volume... we need to follow this psalmist's lead... and preach to our own soul... reminding self... of the Mighty Rock... who is our Refuge...
For God alone... O my soul... wait in silence...
...my... hope... is... from... HIM...
And His hope... well...
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us,
for God's love has been poured out in our hearts
through the Holy Spirit Who has been given us.
Romans 5:5 Amp
In struggles of late... the echo of the psalmist... rings through the heart... and I too... belt out a verse... to encourage waiting... instill hope... and remind... that He sees...
For God alone... O my soul... wait in silence...
Consider putting this one to memory... just in case... you need to give a sermon... to self...
