HIGH FIVE (shhh…)
Psalm 62 is a powerful declaration of trust, silence, and surrender—a spiritual anchor for anyone navigating pressure, uncertainty, or opposition. It’s attributed to David, and its tone is strikingly calm and confident, even in the face of adversity.
✨ Core Themes of Psalm 62
- God Alone as Refuge: The repeated phrase “He only is my rock and my salvation” (verses 2 and 6) emphasizes exclusive dependence on God—not people, wealth, or status.
- Silent Waiting: David says, “My soul waits in silence for God only” (verse 1). This isn’t passive resignation—it’s active trust. Silence here reflects spiritual maturity: resisting the urge to panic, complain, or manipulate outcomes.
- Warning Against False Security: Verses 9–10 caution against trusting in human strength or material gain. “If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.”
- God’s Power and Mercy: The psalm closes with a beautiful balance: “Power belongs to God” and “to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love” (verse 11–12). Justice and mercy are both in His hands.
🪨 Why It Matters—Especially in Leadership
For someone like you—balancing leadership at Hershey’s, Toastmasters, and spiritual care—Psalm 62 offers a blueprint:
- Lead from stillness, not striving.
- Trust divine timing, especially when outcomes feel delayed.
- Pour out your heart (verse 8), but anchor your hope in God’s character, not circumstances.
John Chrysostom once said this psalm was so central to early Christian life that it was sung daily in the church. It’s like the distilled essence of the entire Psalter: wait, trust, and rest in God alone.
WHAT??? NO QUESTIONS???
THANKS BE TO GOD.
