Psalm 62

1 My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

3 How long will you assail a man, that you may murder him, all of you, like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; they delight in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. Selah.

5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, I shall not be shaken. 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. 8 Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; in balances they go up; they are together lighter than breath. 10 Do not trust in oppression and do not vainly hope in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

11 Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God; 12 and lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord, for You recompense a man according to his work.


I've been trying to preach the gospel to myself since coming back from Resolved, its only been a couple days but I hope that it brings me greater amazement of the Cross upon which Christ died to save me from the wrath that God so righteously holds for me. I'm trying to think about how I glorify God and do His work when I'm not specifically doing ministry work. Like how is my walking to class, reading for class, going to diner, how is all of that for the glory of our great God. I was telling Joyce yesterday that I want to go on long term missions after I graduate before I start teaching, but then Sarah was talking about how missions might be the easy way out for her. It might be the same for me too, there are so many distractions around that my thoughts are hardly ever concerning God only and on missions how could I not think only about God. But that just forces me to think about God. I think it was CJ who said that people lose their Christian habits because they don't do them out of conviction from Christ in the first place. Like how Victoria talks about making her faith her own, maybe thats why I struggle so much when I go home, because I rely on all you guys to keep me accountable, to keep me thinking and striving for God. I hope heaven comes soon, but in the meantime I'll try and figure this out.
