The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 62:1-8,
“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken… 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… Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
I don’t need to send in a “faith-promise pledge” of a thousand dollars, I don’t need “miracle manna bread”. I don’t need the green handkerchief or the miracle spring water or a tube of the blessed olive oil from the holy land. I don’t need a rabbi, a priest or a rosary. I don’t need a Joseph Smith, a Buddha, a Confucius or Dalai Lama. I don’t need a temple, a synagogue or a stadium worship center.
I don’t need the latest book on improving myself. I don’t need the seminar or the hot new gospel band. I don’t need the ivy-league college degree, the most lucrative professional career, the happiest marriage or the most successful children. I don’t need the best house in town, the hottest car, the big screen TV or the latest in digital gadgets.
What I do need is the Lord! The Lord who loves me and gave his life for me! The Lord who has taken my punishment for the sins I have committed on himself! The Lord who cleanses me from all sin and has provided me room at his table! I need the Lord who will raise me up on resurrection day to life everlasting! This is the God I need! This is the God in whom alone my soul finds rest! My salvation comes from him! He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress! It is in this God I find my fortress, my refuge, the rock of my life!
May my life manifest the gratefulness, the appreciation, the gratitude, the thankfulness, the acknowledgment of all my God is to me!
