My soul finds rest in God alone, my salvation comes from Him.
He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down----
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
They fully intended to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.
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.
My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.
Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance,
they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase;
do not set your heart on them.
One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: That you, O God, are strong,
and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to
what he has done.
Sweet Rest |
He also speaks of rest. This Psalm was written at the time he was hiding in the cave from Saul. I'd think he knew a little somthing about needing rest, wouldn't you? He knew where to find his rest and it's in the same Person we can find ours today-God. God alone.

Such a sweet baby! I just want to snuggle him!! :)
I want to be emptied of everything so I can be filled with Him!
I love what you said, we can't be filled with Him if we are already filled with everything else. I want to be emptied of the junk so I can be filled with the One who matters.
Sweet encouragement Allison, thank you!
beautiful thoughts, Allsion Love the verses and the baby pic!
Great thoughts, Allison! Great scripture too! I read that last night!
What a wonderful Scripture choice Alison, and an excellent point. More of Him, less of me...
Have a Blessed Day!
