Hobart Herd Devotional \u2013 Psalms 62<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   As a sports fans we have been through a very\ndifficult time.  Some of us have resorted\nto watching past games in order to fill the void.  The only problem with this scenario is that\nwe already know who wins, and how it happens. \nWe have confidence in the final score because we know the end.  This should also be true as believers!  While we might not know exactly how the Lord\nis going to work things out in our lives, we do have the hope and promise of\nknowing the end score.  This should give\nus a confidence and trust to wait patiently on the Lord.  David learned in his life that he could wait\non the Lord because he knew the promises of the Lord.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   We need to recognize that the Lord is our\nRock and our Salvation.  Therefore we can\nwait in confident faith and trust in Him. \nBecause of this \u201cI will never be shaken\u201d. (vs.2)  Though the enemy tries to topple us from our\nTower of Strength, we know that nothing can take us from the Lord.(vs.\n3-4)  Psalms 62:5-6, 5      Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my\nhope comes from him. 6         He alone is\nmy rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.(NIV)  These key verses should represent our hearts\nin finding rest, hope, salvation, and strength. \nSurely we can trust in Him completely!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalms 62:8   Trust in him at all times, O people; pour\nout your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah.(NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   In the end David reminds us of 2 things that\nGod is to us: Psalms 62:11-12,11  One\nthing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, 12          and that you, O Lord, are loving.\nSurely you will reward each person according to what he has done.(NIV)  We can have confident trust in the Lord\nbecause we know He is Strong, and He is Lovingly Gracious.  I can trust that as I put my faith and trust\nin Him completely for my salvation and for my strength in this life; He is the\nRewarder of those who love Him and serve Him faithfully.  I can wait on Him because I know the final\nscore!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   Father, forgive me for not waiting patiently\ntrusting in Your unfailing love and strength. \nHelp me like David to know that You are my Rock and Salvation, the\nstrength of my life.  May I gain the\npatience and trust I need for today because I know the final score.  In Jesus Name, Amen!  Pastor Rob <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
