(62:1-7) Unshakable - David expressed his feelings to God and then reaffirmed his faith. Prayer can release our tension in times of emotional stress. Trusting God to be our rock, salvation, and defense will change our entire outlook on life. No longer must we be held captive by resentment toward others when they hurt us. When we are resting in God's strength, nothing can shake us. 

(62:9-12) Vanity - It is tempting to use honor, power, wealth, and prestige to measure people. We may even think that such people are really getting ahead in life. But on God's scales, these people may be mere "vanity," like a puff of air. What, then, can tilt the scales when God weighs us? Trusting God and working for him (62-12). Wealth, honor, power, or prestige add nothing to our value in Gods eyes, but the faithful work we do for him has eternal value. Let us align our desires and priorities with what God thinks is important.

Each day, we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter, making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today, we continue in the Book of Psalms with Chapter 62. In our text today, we see a theme of placing our hope in God. Knowing He is our hope and salvation in the foundation of who we are and how we make decisions and feel secure. In applying, we see that the key to our Christian life is Jesus being our rock and salvation. If we are saved and resting in Him, we can face anything. How about you? Can you face anything in your life because your foundation is in Jesus? Let us learn from our Psalm and text today to remember that the key to our Christian life is having Jesus as our rock and salvation.
