Psalm 62:1-13

For Reading and Meditation:     Psalm 33:1-22

Today, the idea that God created the world is scoffed at by many. Modern astronomers probing into outer space with their gigantic telescopes favor two theories as to the origin of the universe. One is the so-called Big Bang Theory, according to which "The cosmos started with a titanic explosion and as a consequence has...

"Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from Him cometh my salvation." Psalms 62:1

Blessed posture! Waiting truly and only upon the LORD. Be this our condition all this day and every day. Waiting His leisure, waiting in His service, waiting in joyful expectation, waiting in prayer, and content. When the very soul thus waits, it is in the best and truest condition of a creature before his Creator, a servant before his Master, a child...

Faith is as much the rule of temporal as of spiritual life; we ought to have faith in God for our earthly affairs as well as for our heavenly business. It is only as we learn to trust in God for the supply of all our daily need that we shall live above the world. We are not to be idle, that would show we did not trust in God, who worketh hitherto, but in the devil, who is the father of idleness. We are not to be imprudent or rash; that were to trust chance, and not the living God, who is a...

It is the believer's privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor "expectation" indeed. But if he looks to God for the supply of his wants, whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his "expectation" will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from the bank of faith, and get his need supplied out of the riches of God's lovingkindness. This I know, I had rather have God for my banker than all the Rothschilds. My Lord never fails to honour his...

From whom? From him whose commandments I have so flagrantly violated, and whose authority I have set at nought. From him whose countless benefits I have clutched without noticing the hand that bestowed them. From the thrice-holy One at whose reproof the pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished; and by whose command the fallen angels are kept under the chains of darkness. Perdition has overtaken myriads of beings who went not so far in the contempt of God, as I did; yet salvation cometh...

God is my Saviour; and inasmuch as he saves me by bringing me into blessed relations to himself, clothes me with the garment of his own unsullied righteousness, and makes me to bear his image, I may well speak of him as my salvation. This, like a thousand other passages of the Old Testament, teaches the divinity of Christ, and it is a marvel how any one can say that the evidences of this are chiefly confined to the New Testament. Every passage in the Old Testament that exhibits God as the...

O happy Psalmist, who canst use this language? Not only is God thy rock; he is thine only rock. On him dost thou build thy confidence. He is thy only refuge, thy only safe guard.

How grievously do they insult God who rely in part upon him, in part on something else; and who with the utmost emphasis of their souls deprecate being left alone with God, shut up to him alone. They would fain eke out the insufficiency of their wealth by his riches of mercy; the inadequacy of their wisdom,...

I am the Lord … they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me. § Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. § You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength. § My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. § I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have...

Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him. § Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is...
