Standing in the Storm
Psalm 62:1-8

“What are we going to do?”

How many times have we all uttered this cry of despair?

Sometimes the storms of life come without letup.

They seem endless, successively crashing against us until we feel as though we can’t take any more.

In those times of desperation, Psalm 62 offers three valuable lessons.

First, we must wait and clear our minds, so we can understand the problem.

It’s understandable that we want answers and relief immediately, but the Lord acts in His own perfect time and God is never late.

Therefore, we must wait and pray for God to guide us to the next step, even when that means resisting our natural desire to react quickly and take control of circumstances.

Second, we must wait in silence, not grumbling.

When we quiet our mind and tongue, we give God an opportunity to speak His words of hope and trust to our heart.

Instead of letting anxiety and worry occupy our thoughts, we must focus and ask what would God would do, remembering His promises from His words.

Then God will give us patience, trust, courage and the assurance that He cares and is in control.

Third, we must keep in mind the motivation for this waiting for God’s intervention.

Our focus must be on the Lord, not on our troubles, ourselves, or other people.

We must learn to filter out whatever is pulling our attention away from trust in almighty God, who is working according to His will and timing.

When the storms of our life batter us, make sure that our feet are planted on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, praying for His help.

Do not despair, asking, What are we going to do and remember God is in control?

Rather, ask, What would God do in this situation?

We must rest assured, God will guide and help us do the right things to prevent making our problems worse.
