My Salvation
Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I will not be greatly moved. ~ Psalms 62:1-2
As I read over Psalm 62 this morning, the phrase “He is my Rock and my Salvation” really stood out to me. As I thought about it for a few minutes, letting those words sink in, I said in my heart, “He is my Salvation and He is always saving me.”
This doesn’t mean I have to repeatedly receive salvation to remain in a relationship with Him or to secure my eternity with Him. Instead, it means He is constantly rescuing me from the schemes of the enemy, from my own poor choices, and sometimes, simply from the chaos of life. He is always present, always faithful, always ready to step in and save.
I think back to moments when life seemed fragile—like the time I slipped on ice at work or when I was ill with COVID-19. Each time, whether I called out or not, God was there, steady as a rock, pulling me through. His grace and mercy are endless, and He has been my Savior in every sense of the word.
He is always saving me and keeping me. He is ready right now to save me from any danger or peril that may come my way. Even if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I know He is with me so I don’t have to fear any evil.
It was especially comforting to me when I realized this truth, especially since I know I am far from perfect. I still stumble and make mistakes, even though I’ve left behind some of the compromising decisions I made when I was young. But why, I wondered, is God always so faithful to save me? And why do some of God’s people seem to struggle more, despite their faith?
I believe the answer lies in verse 6 of Psalm 62: “He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.” God alone is my refuge, and He is the only One I call upon. He’s the only One I’m trusting with every step. Day by day, I keep Him first, honoring Him in every area of my life. I hold fast to His promise: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and after that, all the things and saving I need will be added to me.”
So today I want to encourage everyone to do as verse eight in this chapter says: Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. You don’t need a plan B because He always comes through. Put Him first in every area of your life and pour out your heart to Him. He will save you and He will be your refuge, and He will save you. Follow these next steps to step into a closer relationship with Him so that you are confident that He is the faithful One to see you through whatever comes your way in life.
Reflect on God’s Faithfulness — Take time to remember specific times in your life when God has been your rock, saving you and providing for you. Journal these experiences to remind yourself of His constant presence.
Pour Out Your Heart — Follow the Psalmist’s invitation and pour out your heart before God. Be honest about your fears, doubts, and struggles. Lay everything at His feet, knowing He is your refuge and defense.
Commit to Trusting Him Alone — Examine areas where you may be holding onto a “plan B.” Surrender those to God, trusting that He alone is your salvation, and commit to making Him first in every part of your life.
Read and Meditate on Psalm 62 — Let the words of this Psalm sink deeply into your heart. Ask God to strengthen your trust in Him as your rock, salvation, and refuge.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for being my rock and my salvation. Thank You for always being there to save me, whether from external threats, my own mistakes, or simply the struggles of life. Teach me to trust You fully and to pour out my heart before You. Empower me to keep You first in every area of my life, knowing that You are my defense and my refuge. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Join me in letting Psalm 62 remind us today that God is unshakable, unmovable, and always ready to be our strength and salvation. Trust in Him at all times.
Today’s scripture reading: Psalms 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 a 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. Selah
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 us. Selah
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.
