HE ALONE IS WORTHY

Psalm 62:6-8 NLT 

He alone is my rock and my salvation, 

 my fortress where I will not be shaken.

 My victory and honor come from God alone.

He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.

O my people, trust in him at all times.

Pour out your heart to him,

for God is our refuge.

I’m looking forward to meeting David one day to thank him for writing the wonderful psalms, because the things he wrote are so relatable to us all, even though he became a king. I don’t think he ever forgot his humble beginnings among the sheep and all he learned when he was alone with his God on the hillsides.

There are times when we’re alone and there’s no one else we can turn to, in the dark of night, or when you may be in a crowd but you feel alone. David knew those times and he says, “He alone is my rock and my salvation”. Whatever else was happening he knew his God would never abandon him, even when he got it wrong, even when his baby died, even when his son betrayed him. 

David’s God is our God and He is still our rock and our salvation. His promise to never abandon us is still standing because of Jesus, which means we too can trust Him at all times and pour out our heart to Him.

Do you need a refuge today, someone who understands you better than you understand yourself? Then our God is the One, the only One, who will be your refuge, your rock, your fortress - whatever it is you need right now, our God is the only One who will be all of that and more, and will never let you down.

How blessed we are. Let’s praise our wonderful God and Saviour today. He alone is worthy of all our praise. Amen.
