The Confident Assurance of God's Unchanging Nature and Eternal Being! Psalm 62

The Confident Assurance of God's Unchanging Nature and Eternal Being!


Psalm 62
1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. 3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down— this leaning wall, this tottering fence? 4 They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah 5 find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God[a]; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah9 Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. 10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. 11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, 12 and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.

In times like these, it may seem that the present leaders are permanent, but according to Scripture in Psalm 62, they are but a breath! A mere vapor mist around a mountain; though the mist may be thick surrounding a mountain almost to conceal the reality of the mountain; nonetheless, when the vapor mist dispels and vanishes the Mountain was always there. Therefore, pierce your eyes through the mist and fog until your Soul Rests in God Alone, until you see Him as our Rock and refuge. Do not place your trust in finite human leaders who are temporary, here today and gone tomorrow! Who are set up by God's Eternal and Divine providential will to execute His purpose!

You may say what purpose is there in increased taxes, in the killing of unborn babies in abortion in the spread of Hedonism and immorality, in the promotion of Gay marriages(that by the way, such unions will kill and destroy civilizations because two gay people cannot ever propagate Children, God created them Male and Female to be united in the bonds of Marriage to express their Natural function in the union of Male and Female in holy Matrimony, not the other way around), The legalization of drugs and controlled substances such as Marijuana; So what purpose is there in all the injustice and wickedness in the world? God is holy and will not let the guilty go unpunished, to the Glory of God indeed!

Psalm 62 declares it is for the purpose of the Glory of God to find rest in God alone! David likens God to a Rock. When you go to look at a Mountain, you cannot help but see permanency! When you go to the Rock, you cannot help but find God to be a Refuge, a place for shelter and protection from the storms and to be shielded from Enemies.

Psalm 62 contrasts the permanency of God's Eternal Nature as a Mighty rock in contrast to the temporary nature of finite man, who is likened to a mere breath, both lowborn men are a breath and high born men are a lie, to be weighed on the Scale they amount to nothing! "Selah9 Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. 10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase do not set your heart on them"

The final conclusion to the matter is that my soul rests in God alone! It is to His glory that I must find my rest in Him alone. And when difficult times arise, we tend to wish that our enemies just perish and die, because we do not want to deal with the situation or deal difficult people, or circumstances that arise to threaten our existence by the hands of wicked people and enemies.

But God want us to deal with the circumstances, He wants us to deal with all our oppositions, enemies and difficult situations, He want us to pour our hearts to Him verse 8.

God will not get rid of our enemies, they will surround us like the sea, they are set up by His Divine appointment and providential will; The difficult situations and circumstances are there for us to use them to Seek Him; He wants us to seek Him in the midst of our Enemies, to find Him as our Rock, to deal with the difficulties by praying and pouring out our hearts to Him to the details of life, so that we can deal with our situations with His Great Strength, help and Deliverance, to find Him with us to help us deal with our difficult situations, circumstances, people and enemies. "8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."

Therefore, Deal with your circumstances no matter how hard or difficult, find God as your Mountain and Rock see Him through the mist of difficult circumstances and people, Know that they are but a mere vapor Mist that vanishes until your soul find Rest in God alone!

When we seek Him and find Him with all our hearts, we can declare with David in this Psalm that my soul find rest in God alone, Salvation comes from Him and I will not be shaken when I trust in Him.

Difficult situations arise to waken me up and goad me to find my rest and Salvation in God my Rock! That I may depend on God who is Eternal, Faithful and Sovereign Directing all circumstances in my life that I may deal with them through prayer and find rest in God.
In doing so, the purpose for all the situations that God wants me to deal with through prayer and trust in Him alone, will always lead me to the Glory of God!
But woe is me if I fail to seek Him when difficult situations, opposing circumstances, threatening people and enemies seek to destroy me and topple me; woe is me if I fail to use the rising tide of difficulties and opposition as an opportunity to seek God as my refuge and Rock through the Rock of my Salvation--even Jesus Christ, My Lord and My God! In failing to seek Him, I will indeed be decimated and destroyed; if I fail to go to the Rock of My Salvation through Prayer during the rising tide of threatening situations and circumstances.Finite man, leaders, broken circumstances, difficult situations, oppositions, threatening people and enemies are indeed temporary and unstable to trust in, a mere breathe; here today and gone tomorrow!

But God is indeed my Rest, my Rock, Refuge, Mighty to Save me eternally as I trust in His only Begotten Son!
