My Rock, My Refuge, My Redeemer

PSALMS 62

1. TRULY MY SOUL WAITS UPON GOD; FROM HIM COMES MY SALVATION
2. HE ONLY IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION; HE IS MY DEFENCE; I SHALL NOT BE GREATLY MOVED.
(There is no hope apart from God)
3 HOW LONG WILL YOU IMAGINE MISCHIEF AGAINST A MAN? YOU SHALL ALL BE SLAIN, AS A BOWING WALL SHALL YOU BE AND AS A TOTTERING FENCE.
4. THEY ONLY CONSULT TO CAST HIM DOWN FROM HIS EXCELLENCY; THEY DELIGHT IN LIES; THEY BLESS WITH THEIR MOUTH BUT THEY CURSE INWARDLY.
(There is no hope in the things of this world!)
5. MY SOUL WAIT ONLY UPON GOD FOR MY EXPECTATION IS FROM HIM.
(IS HE YOUR HOPE? IS YOUR FAITH IN THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP?)
6. HE ONLY IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION; HE IS MY DEFENCE, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED.
(IN TIMES LIKE THESE OUR ONLY HOPE IS IN THE LORD. A ROCK IMPLIES STRENGTH AND FIRMNESS. AN UNCHANGING SUBSTANCE. OUR LORD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER. HE DOES NOT CHANGE IN HIS LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE TO ALL WHO WILL REACH OUT TO HIM. THE SAME GOD WHO COVERED THE NAKEDNESS OF ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN, WHO WALKED WITH ABRAHAM, DANIEL, GIDEON, PETER AND THOMAS, IN SPITE OF THE DOUBT, DENIAL DISBELIEF, GOD STILL LOVES YOU TODAY AS HE LOVED THOSE MEN OF OLD.)
7. IN GOD IS MY SALVATION AND MY GLORY; THE ROCK OF MY STRENGTH AND MY REFUGE IS IN GOD.
(God is my refuge. A REFUGE IS A SAFE PLACE, A PLACE OF SECURITY. GOD PROVIDES THAT PLACE, AS HE DID FOR NOAH. GOD PROVIDED THE KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY FOR NOAH TO BUILD THE ARK TO SAVE HIM FROM THE FLOOD, AS HE WILL DO FOR THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM IN THESE STORMY DAYS. Is you trust in Him or do you scoff at those who walk with Him?)
8. TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES.POUR OUT YOUR HEART BEFORE HIM; GOD IS A REFUGE FOR US.
(GOD IS MY SALVATION, MY REDEEMER. IN SALVATION THERE IS RENEWAL, RESTORATION. IN OUR SALVATION THERE COMES A CHANGE. A CHANGE OF IDEALS, OF ATTITUDES, A CHANGE OF ACTION, HABITS AND A CHANGE OF DIRECTION. THINK ABOUT SAUL OF TARSUS WHO BACAME PAUL THE APOSTLE AFTER HE HAD A PERSONAL MEETING WITH THE LORD OF LORDS. HE BACAME A MAN WHO GAVE HIS OWN LIFE TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS.)
11. GOD HAS SPOKEN ONCE; TWICE HAVE I HEARD THIS; THAT POWER BELONGS TO GOD.
(If God has to repeat it for us , do you think it might be very important)
12. UNTO THEE, OH LORD, BELONGS MERCY. FOR YOU RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORK.
ARE YOU TRUSTING IN THE LORD, IS HE YOUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH? OUR FAITH IN CHRIST BRINGS ABOUT A RENEWING AND RESTORATION OF LIFE, EVERLASTING LIFE!
IN JOHN 14 JESUS TELLS US NOT TO BE TROUBLED ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD, IN OUR LIFE. HE TOLD US HE WAS GOING TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR US AND HE WOULD COME AGAIN TO TAKE US TO THAT SAFE PLACE OF ETERNAL REFUGE.
IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15;50-58 WE LEARN ‘WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED.’
HE IS COMING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MADE HIM THEIR REFUGE, WHO HAVE CONFESSED THEIR NEED OF A SAVIOR, AND BELIEVE IN THEIR HEART THAT GOD SENT HIS ONLY SON TO SUFFER AND DIE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

HE IS THE ROCK OF MY STRENGTH,
MY REFUGE IS IN GOD.
I WILL TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES
I WILL POUR OUT MY HEART BEFORE HIM.
GOD IS A REFUGE FOR ME.

GOD IS MY REFUGE.
