Proclamation:
“My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty Rock, my refuge. Trust
in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our
refuge.” Psalm 62:7-8 (NIV)
Explanation:
The words of this psalm were written under
the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King David. This psalm is a song which was intended to be
sung during worship services. The second
verse is a stanza, or refrain, that is repeated, verbatim, in the middle of the
song. (Psalm 62:6) “Truly He is my Rock
and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” David wanted everyone to know that The Rock
upon which the church is built is The Rock that provides his safety, shelter, and
salvation. All of the accolades that he
received are due to his being blessed by the righteousness and grace of God. Here he encouraged the people of God to
confess and present the desires of their heart, their cares and concerns, and
all of their problems to The Lord for He is also their safe haven.
Application:
As believers we are to trust in The Lord
God. We can tell Him everything that is
on our mind, things that are troubling us, and all of our wants, wishes, and
desires. (Philippians 4:6) We know that
He hears us and He knows our heart. (Luke 5:22)
He knows what we need. (Matthew 6:8)
We are also to wait patiently for Him and expect that He will keep His
word. (Psalm 27:14, Psalm 37:34, Psalm 62:1 and 5) That which He has promised to us, we will
receive. (Psalm 62:12)
