\u201cMy soul waits in silence for God only;\u00a0From Him is my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.\u201d Psalm 62: 1-2 (NASB 95)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

(The NASB is a very literal translation.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor God alone I patiently wait; he is the one who delivers me. He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended.\u201d – Psalm 62: 1-2 (NET Bible)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a rest that comes when you ask God hard questions and then sit in silence. God is not offended by our questions and our disappointments – and what we perceive as unanswered prayer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we read through the Psalms – we discover that King David, a man after God\u2019s heart, had many questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling disappointed with how some things have turned out in life is not a lack of faith. The Psalms are painfully honest. David had a secret history with God. Even though shaken his faith would not be upended. Only those who have experienced God as Father will have the faith to endure trials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running from God should never be our first option. He desires for us to run to him. And sit with him in our pain. That is true faith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

God is looking for trust, even in the midst of our spiritual darkness. Joy will come if we learn the art of waiting on him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Metaphorically speaking God is our Rock. In reality, he is our shelter, a place of rest for our souls.<\/span><\/p>\n

In that quiet secret place as we pour out our hearts to the source of our salvation – we quietly wait with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trusting in His deliverance for ourselves and those we love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we are still praying – God is still working.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his time and his way.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
