Fierce opposition.

Psalms 62:1‭-‬2
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 shall not be greatly moved.

David wrote this psalm while he was facing fierce opposition. His son, Absalom had rebelled against Him, his trusted advisors and friends turned against Him and they were speaking and working evil against him and were after his life.

In the midst of such situations, David placed his expectations on God and trusted Him for salvation. He didn't look for salvation and deliverance from people, he said men of high status are a lie and men of low status are a vapour and putting them together on a scale, they are lighter than vapour. Under such fierce opposition, David said I will not be moved because God is my rock, my salvation and my defense. Everything happening around him was trying to get his attention, but he gave his attention, his mind to the Lord God of Israel. The Lord delivered him from his enemies and restored the kingdom back to Him. He didn't take revenge, He allowed God to take vengeance. Many times, we want to take revenge in our words and actions, but like David let us wait on God for our salvation is from Him. He is our rock, our salvation and our defense. He will fight for us. The battle is the Lords.

Friend, like David you may be facing rejection, rebellion, disloyalty, discouragement, disappointment and opposition on all sides, but I encourage you to do what David did, keep your mind on the Lord by meditating and speaking of His greatness and His power. "The Lord is my Rock therefore I will not be shaken. The Lord is my defense therefore He will defend me. The Lord is my salvation therefore He will save me. The Lord is my refuge therefore the enemy cannot touch me". Remember, the battle is the Lords and the victory is yours!
