Chapter 61: Shelter in the Lord
To the chief Musician upon Neginah,
A Psalm of David.
David finds shelter with the
Lord, he says that from the end of the earth will he cry unto the Lord “…when
my heart is overwhelmed…” (Psalms 61:2)
How many times do we feel
overwhelmed? Everyone at some point in their life will feel like everything is
coming down around them. We must lean to the Lord for his shelter, comfort and
guidance. But even David knows that this comes with a price, we mus keep our
covenants and promises with the Lord.
Chapter 62: God= Rock and Salvation
To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun,
A Psalm of David.
David knows that God is the only
one he should put his trust in. He says that the Lord is…
“…my rock and my salvation…”
(Psalms 62:6)
“…the rock of my strength…”
(Psalms 62:7)
He goes on to say that you should “Trust
in him at all times…” (Psalms 62:8)
David ends by saying that if “…riches
increase, se not your heart upon them.” (Psalms 62:10) Notice how it
isn’t bad to have riches? I know plenty of people that have millions of dollars
and you would never expect that they had so much. Yet, these people live very
modest lifestyles and give freely! Because we know that being “saved” in the
sense of being saved from this physical presence is FREE, that is what Jesus
died for, so we could have the opportunity to return with God. In a way you
could say he unlocked the door for us, but in order to open it we must do good
works (see Psalms 62:12)
