Day 229 – Psalm 62
“He only is my rock and my salvation…” Psalm 62:2a
THE CHALLENGE TO WAIT UPON THE LORD
It is quite a challenge to wait upon the Lord effectively. A number of things can make it difficult to wait on the Lord “silently”.
1. Fear
This was a problem that David had had to face time and again.
2. Anxiety
With fear came anxiety. Worry would come to the heart and mind threatening trust in the Lord.
3. Negative reaction
It would be all too easy to react negatively. To a man of war, David could have resorted to great violence as he faced his enemies!

“He only is my rock and my salvation;

Psalm 62:2
