Rest and Refreshment comes from my Rock

Psalm 62 (v 1-2, 5-6, 7-8)

¹ Truly my soul finds rest in God;
    my salvation comes from him.
² Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
    my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God;
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
⁸ Trust in him at all times, you people;
    pour out your hearts to him,
    for God is our refuge.

This Psalm is such refreshment to me. I am reminded that NOTHING will ever give my soul rest or hope unless I am walking with God, keeping my focus on Him, dwelling in His presence, turning to Him when I feel like turning to this world or my own way, and pouring my heart out to Him.

Life is busy and full.. always.  Sometimes I forget to rest my soul. When I slow down and truly gaze upon His beauty and let Him captivate my soul, I am filled with that peaceful rest He longs to give His children.

Lord, thank You for being the One True Refuge. You take me away from the cares of this world and You bring peace like a river to my soul. There is no place I would rather be than walking with You.
