“众民哪！你们要常常倚靠他，在他面前倾心吐意；因为神是我们的避难所。”
诗篇 62:8
“Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.”
Psalms 62:8
Slowing down to consider what Psalm 62 tells us (or at least implies) about the situation that prompted the psalmist to write it can deepen our understanding of God. It helps us internalize the psalm’s teaching in a way that transforms us rather than simply informs us.
These are not the blissful words of reflection from an untroubled soul. David writes from the tired depths of someone maligned and assaulted.
Saying that hope comes from the Lord is simple when hope is a luxury. To say that you will not be shaken when even your friends are secretly cursing you (v. 4) is an expression of trust before, during, and after all other hopes have failed.
How can you express hope in God?
