My Honor

June 5 – My Honor – Psalm 62:7-8

     David states her that is honor, high respect; esteem, distinction, recognition, privilege,, prestige, merit and credit depends on the Lord.  His salvation comes directly from the Lord.  David knew as we should that salvation is a gift that cannot be earned.  God chose to save because of his love, mercy and grace.  To think otherwise is foolish and deadly.  David then stated that the Lord is his mighty rock and refuge a common statement for David.  He lived in a world where protection was found in fortresses and high walls.  Refuge and safety were found in these places.

     He then calls his readers and all people to trust the Lord at all times.  In all circumstances and situations trust the Lord.  Pour your hearts out to Him.  This means pray and let God know how you feel.  As the old song says, “Tell Jesus all about your problems.”  In all of this you will find God is your refuge.  He is your place of safety, rest, protection, help and peace.
