In God Alone
I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2
Natalie Grant sings, In Christ Alone. The lyrics says “In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground firm through the fiercest drought and storm. Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand.” Psalm 62, which is today`s verse. It talks about aloneness in a whole different way. It says that God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.
As much as we love our family, which God gave us, there is also a reality that they are not God, and they cannot take His place. When things are stripped away, and there is only God and us, are we okay? God wants to be our rock, our salvation and our fortress.
The first three words (rock, salvation and fortress) indicate how God alone saves and protects us. But then it changes. When we allow God alone to have that place in our lives, then He brings peace and victory. It is God alone who brings our victory, and God alone who brings us peace.
