#474 Our Expectation and Refuge in the Face of Fear
“Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
My hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people;
Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” Psalm 62:5-8
A paraphrase based on the meanings of the words:
I speak these words to my own heart, be silent only upon God;
for my attachments and expectancy comes from Him--
O Lord I want the hopes and outcomes to which I am attached, to be according to YOUR will….
You only are my stability and my deliverance and victory;
You are my protection, inaccessible to the enemy’s schemes,
I will not waver.
You are my deliverance and my abundant supply;
The rock refuge of my strength and security,
And my shelter is in God, mighty on my behalf.
Run to Him for refuge in every circumstance, continually,
Honestly share all that is in your heart in His presence:
God, the One Mighty on our behalf, is a shelter to each of us.
Fear is expectation without God.
Hope is expectation with God.
