August 6 (Psalm 62:7)
My salvation and my honor depend on God; he
is my mighty rock, my refuge. (ESV)
God
wants to be your everything. He is your
salvation, eternally through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and on
earth as He guides you through the Holy Spirit.
He is your mighty rock, the place where you can stand firmly in truth
and the knowledge of what is right, no small gift in an age that is losing the
very notion of truth. He is your refuge,
the place where you can find comfort and protection amid the emotional,
relational, and physical storms of life that would otherwise sweep you away.
He
is also your honor. Your honor, your
glory, your nobility depend solely on Him, and because of that, you are noble,
glorious, and honorable indeed, regardless of outward appearances to the
world. Your identity as a son or
daughter of the Lord God of the universe is secure, untouchable, and shining
throughout eternity.
Do
not make your relationship with God through Jesus Christ a small thing. Do not make it less than it is. Do not minimize it. It is the sum total of your existence and
essence, for God is your everything.
O Lord, my God, when I ponder You but for the slightest moment, I am overwhelmed with awe and love, with gratitude and fierce devotion. May all that I am and all that I have and all that I think and all that I say and all that I do reflect to the world the state of my relationship with You and bring You all the glory possible. By the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
