Psalm 60-62 : Find rest, O my soul, in God alone.
Psm 62:5-8
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
When I saw that it was Psalm day again - my heart lifted - Psalms are also so gritty and real - so full of "things are tough now, but I will still praise my God and stick them out, and be as faithful as i can to the one who is never faithless".
This last 5 weeks or so, have been a rebuilding and a relearning, perhaps I was becoming proud, perhaps I was trusting too much on things that are not God. For whatever reason I feel so much like I am relearning things I should have known
"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone."
So obvious - and yet I wonder how much I have been trying to find rest in things, people, other than God - and I have to say, alot.
Saturday & Sunday - four times over the weekend did I hear the phrase, "come back to God" in one context it was in getting up early to start the day praying to God, spending time with Him, starting the day with Him on my mind - Find rest, O my soul, in God alone. I wonder how much more i need to hear it before I will start - I don't feel ready to start getting up early everyday to do that - and yet I can feel the Holy Spirit prompting me, He's talking to me - get up and do it - remember the bible reading - talk to God about it and He will make sure you don't get over tired, He will give you the discipline you need to get to bed earlier, meeting with Him will refresh you more than an extra hour of sleep will.
It's not wise to resist God.
Assuming it is all from Him.
I have got back into listening to Christian music in the morning.
One step at a time.
