I am at rest in God alone

Psalms 62:1-2  [For the leader. Set in the style of Y'dutun. A psalm of David:] My soul waits in silence for God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and salvation, my stronghold; I won't be greatly moved.  (CJV)

Being so close to Christmas I imagine like most parents and people in general, many are feeling quite tired at this stage.  Not only from the busyness of the season, but due to the financial expenditures also.  I am one of these too, as I have to be there to do all of this choosing presents, and figuring the money, and that everything is fair amongst the children, and adults even the in laws.

As I woke up this morning and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, looking at my phone to see my morning devotion verses, Psalms 62:1 hit the bulls eye.  That is what I need today, and as I ponder that thought it is what I need to remember every day, especially come the end of every day. 

Starting this day realizing I waiting-ly rest in the Lord and find confidence in His Salvation to come.  My strength is renewed and what ever comes my way today is within my Lord’s care.

Really what more is important than to recognize that God has everything in control, in fact it is Jesus who holds everything together, as we see in the letter to the Colossians in the Bible. 

All of our Lord’s activity in the past present and even the future is directly related to our lives and God’s Will is being accomplished.  I find it much better to be involved, than to be not. 

That word “not” is terrible, when it is used to see if I am in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus.  That would mean that I would be an object of God’s Wrath, and that’s not good. 

We celebrate the Birth of Jesus in a couple of days and the hustle and bustle will be over and Joy will abound.  My hope is that your joy is that Jesus' Birth is the birth of not only our Peace, but our restful waiting for our day of Salvation from this life of sin.

Invite Jesus the One and only Unique Son of God to be your Savior and Lord today and join me in Salvation to the Kingdom of God.

Merry Christmas
