“Truth for Truckers” *April 2, 2014* Psalm 62 “Wait
on the Lord”
Waiting upon God is the theme of this Psalm
with the first two verses repeated in (v.5, 6) ‘Truly my soul waits upon God: from Him comes my salvation. He only is
my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense; I shall not be greatly moved.’
David’s patience is demonstrated here
knowing that God will indeed intervene, rescue and defend him from the hand of
his enemies. The three titles he gives immediately point us to the Lord Jesus
Christ for He is the Rock spoken of here. (I Corinthians 10:4) David will not
be shaken by the assault which is described in (v.3, 4)
‘How
long will ye imagine mischief against a man? Ye shall be slain all of you: as a
bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. They only consult to cast
him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their
mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
Wicked devices, destructive plans,
deception and devious hypocrisy are the tools utilized by these doomed foes of
God. Their untimely death is assured being likened to the collapse of familiar
structures that are dangerously defective and are about to fall to their ruin!
In (v.5, 6) the repetition brings about
the strong confidence David patiently displays as he waits on the LORD to bring
about His desired end. He does not look to man or himself for the answer to the
enemie’s onslaught, but instead firmly states his position knowing that the
LORD will indeed come through just as He has done in the past. Looking for
answers from the Lord? Drivers, maybe He is saying: wait!
