2 Samuel 22

31 "As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield
for all who take refuge in him.

32 For who is God besides the LORD ?
And who is the Rock except our God?

33 It is God who arms me with strength [h]
and makes my way perfect.

There is a wider context to what David is singing about, in relation to why God is His refuge, and the reasons why God is faithful: David qualifies God's faithfulness in perspective of his(Davids) own pursuit of righteousness - very interesting. However today this part of the passage screams out at me.

There is no where else to turn! With assurance like this for the days ahead, I rest in my Lord, Holy is his name.

Great Psalm - 62

from vs. 5 (ESV):

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Selah

Some things stand out to me from these rich words: for God alone I must wait. Reason: He is the originator, not just the focus of hope.

And I love the result that David reaches after contemplating the steadfastness of God: He calls the people, because God is faithful, not just to trust in Him, but to pour out our hearts: open the floodgates of our hearts before him.

And I thought my problems were big. Lord teach me to wait for you alone, not for the fulfillment of my whims, however justified they may seem.
