Devotion:
Read Psalm 62:1-8.
The Psalmist emphasizes that only in God do we find rest, security and salvation. Life is difficult and it is when we pray and praise God that our tension, fear and anxiety can be released. Trusting God to be our rock, salvation, and fortress will change our entire outlook on life. No longer will we be held captive by negative influences which strive to overwhelm us. Placing all our hope in God and knowing that God is in control allows us to wait patiently for him to rescue us. True relief does not come when the problem is resolved because there are always more problems on the horizon. True relief comes from an enduring hope and relationship with God. It is in that relationship with God one finds joy and fulfillment in life. Where do you seek fulfillment and security? Love? Work? Money? Entertainment? Education? Refreshment and contentment can only be found in God.
Personal Worship Option:
Reflect on your level of joy and contentment. Memorize Psalm 62:1-2 and share that with a friend.
