"Are You Willing To Wait" "Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved." (Psalm 62:1-2)Psalm 62 is a powerful testament to an unshakeable trust in God and the peace that comes from such reliance. David's steadfast faith and unwavering belief in God's ultimate control over all things offers a timeless example for you and I on how we can navigate through life's many storms which frequently come our way.David here was faced with people who kept attacking him over and over. Some would speak kindly to him and then lie about him behind his back. Their goal was to bring him down from the calling that God had placed on his life. David reminded himself that the only way to deal with this situation was to look to God.David's mind could have devised a way to get even. His will could have led him to attack them like they were attacking him. His emotions could have led him to slaughter them. But David knew that was not the best way to deal with them. The best way was to have his whole inner being to wait in silence on God alone.Waiting in silence before the Lord takes discipline on our part. We are so prone to taking matters into our own hands and making things worse than they already are. Our mind will naturally go over and over the treachery we have seen. To calm our thoughts and emotions and silently wait for God can only be done by those who have disciplined their inner life. Some would say that is impossible. David tells us it is possible.True deliverance from a situation only comes from God. He is the only one who can put an end to any kind of troubles we face. When we devise our own plans, we often compound the problem or create a new problem, don't we? God knows every detail and every consequence. Therefore, it only makes sense to wait in silence for His answer from whatever you are facing today. He will act or He will show you how to act.Friends, have you learned to discipline your soul and wait silently for Him to respond? His Word says you will be strengthened when you courageously wait upon your Lord.
