Today is Monday, June 1st, 2020; Karen's Korner #4221

Anybody but me concerned about 'enemies' that we can't see (viruses) and those we can (rioters and looters)?

The Bible always reads like today's newspaper because 'things' we experience don't seem to change over generations.

This is the 'theme' for Psalm 62 which I read this morning:
 
"Placing all hope in God. Knowing that God is in control allows us to wait patiently for His rescue. True relief does not come when the problem is resolved because more problems are on the way. True relief comes from an enduring hope in God's ultimate salvation. Only then will all trials be resolved".
 

"I stand silently before the Lord,
waiting for Him to rescue me.
For salvation comes from Him alone.
Yes, He alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense,
and fortress.
Why then should I be tense with fear
when troubles come?"


~ Psalm 62:1 - 3 LAB
(It must be pretty important by David, the writer, as it is repeated again in verses 5 & 6!)

 

Bible Commentary:   Prayer can release our tensions in times of emotional stress. Trusting God to be our Rock, rescuer, defense, and fortress changes our entire outlook on life. No longer are we held captive by our situation (fears), but are released to follow an unchanging God, our Rock and fortress.
