Psalm 62 YouVersion(NIV)

There was a part of Psalm 61 from yesterday’s reading that keeps coming back to my mind… “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

Then in today’s Psalm I read, “He alone is my rock and my salvation,” and “He is my mighty rock, my refuge.”

I’ve found that whenever I start feeling stressed out, easily frustrated or discouraged, or overwhelmed, I soon figure out that somewhere along the way without realizing it, I’ve started trying to shoulder everything and control everything on my own again.

David says in Psalm 62, “One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving.”  Or from another translation, “God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to You; unfailing love, O Lord, is Yours.” {New Living Translation}

I would do well to remember those two things…He is strong…He is love.  

He alone is my rock, my salvation, my refuge, my rest.  Isn’t that the answer to whatever I face each day?….Go to the rock that is higher than I.
