TELL IT ALL

READ:
Psalm 62
___________________________________________________________

Trust in Him at all
times, you people; pour
out your heart before
Him; God is a refuge
for us. __Psalm 62:8
___________________________________________________________

A clerk who helped me purchase a small digital voice recorder told me that he kept one just like it in his car when he worked in California. "When I began driving home after work I switched it on" he said, "and I talked about everything that happened that day on the job, good and bad. When I pulled into my driveway, I hit the erase button." Then he smiled. After telling everything to his voice recorder, he apparently had no need to go over the day's problems with his wife or family.

It reminded me of how often I needlessly rehearse my disappointments and problems to others instead of telling them to God. The psalmist wrote: "Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us" (Ps. 62:8). Twice he spoke of waiting silently for God, his rock and salvation (vv.1-2,5-7).

**************Today's Bible Reading __ Psalm 62*****************

1 Truly my soul silently
waits for God; from him
comes my salvation. 2 He
only is my rock and my
salvation; He is my defense;
I shall not be greatly moved.

3 How long will you attack
man? You shall be slain,
all of you, like a leaning
wall and a tottering fence.

4 They only consult to cast
him down from his high
position; they delight in lies;
they bless with their mouth,
but they curse inwardly.

5 My soul, wait silently for
God alone, for my
expectation is from Him.

6 He only is my rock and my
salvation; He is my defense;
I shall not be moved. 7 In
God is my salvation and my
glory; the rock of my
strength, and my refuge, is
in God. 8 Trust in Him at all
times, you people; pour out
your heart before Him; God
is a refuge for you.

9 Surely men of low degree
are a vapor, men of high
degree are a lie; if they are
weighed on the scales, they
are altogether lighter than
vapor. 10 Do not trust in
oppression, nor vainly hope
in robbery; if riches
increase, do not set your
heart on them.

11 God has spoken once,
twice I have heard this: that
power belongs to God.

12 Also to You, O Lord,
belongs mercy; for You
render to each one according
to his work.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INSIGHT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The psalmist David waited on the Lord in prayer and trusted Him
(vv.1-2). Nineteenth-century preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon
was a strong believer in the power of prevailing prayer. He said, "If
any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion,
I should say that it is in one word--prayer
