Psalm 62:5-Be Still: A Devotional Series
“For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.” Psalm 62:5.
Waiting is no one’s favorite thing to do. We will do what we can when we can to avoid waiting. We have apps that help us avoid lines in grocery stores, restaurants, and movie theaters. Yet, sometimes that’s all we can do. In the face of uncertainty, it seems that this waiting is the storm before the calm.
David, however, trusts in God for His future. David was running from His enemies, yet he trusted God in the face of an uncertainty. David is like you and I-limited. He did not know the future, but He did know who held the future. David’s hope was very much in God. That’s where our hope lies, just as David’s did.
Our hope very much lies in Jesus, a sure hope in the storms of uncertainty and in the drought of waiting. Take heart and be still-The King is still reigning, He is still in control, and He has not forgot you and I.
