WAIT QUIETLY BEFORE GOD

SPSALM 62:1-2

"I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken."

Remember the song, I am all shook up? Are you scared about life? Are you worried about almost everything? Do you feel like the ground under you is not safe and steady? You may be like a lot of today's people, not sure of your foundation. That is not the case of the true believer. Those that have faith and trust in the Lord are different from others. You will notice that they are more peaceful and less disturbed then others. They have a foundation that is built on the Rock of their Salvation, Jesus Christ. They know that His foundation is like the Rock that will never be shaken.

How can any one be victorious in this life? There is only one way to find salvation and eternal life and that is in Christ Jesus. No one on earth can save themselves and without the Grace of God no one will survive and have eternal life. When you know that is the truth of God, you can wait quietly and in silence for God. God is your defense and your fortress that you can be safe in. How can you be easily moved when you are protected by the Lord?

Because we have this peace that passes the understanding of the unbeliever, we have a duty to tell about the Good News that saved us. We should be eager to tell others about this peace. Of course the Holy Spirit is the one that saves the individual, but if no one tells them and they never really hear about the Salvation of our God, how can they learn? While you are waiting quietly for God, secure in your victory and salvation, invite others to come into His fortress and find peace!
