Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:1-2

Resting in the Lord is an aspect of trusting in Him. The more thoroughly we trust Him, the more we can rest in Him. David writes beautifully of this trusting rest in Psalm 62. Note the following:

One waits silently in the Lord when there is no doubt that God is always present, always loving, and always superintending for His people. There is no anxiety or agitation; just quiet waiting. That is rest.

Why this peaceful rest? Because God has already proven His loving kindness by saving His people from our greatest foe: our sin. Truly salvation comes from God.

Because the Lord is the godly man’s rock and salvation, that man can rest.

Because the Lord is the godly man’s defense, he can rest in the Lord, knowing that no matter what comes, he “shall not be greatly moved.” That is rest.

There are many sources of trouble on life’s path. But there is only one tried and true sure place of rest. That place is found only by those who rest in Christ.

May you find your rest in Him.
