Psalm 62:5-8English Standard Version (ESV)

⁵ For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
    for my hope is from him.
⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation,
    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
⁷ On God rests my salvation and my glory;
    my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
    pour out your heart before him;
    God is a refuge for us. Selah

There are 2 key phrases that jumped off the page to me this morning; 1) For God alone  2) He only 

We all hear about the "Peace" of God, but we are all more familiar with "anxiousness". Why? Job 22:21-22 is a good answer:

²¹ “Agree with God, and be at peace;
    thereby good will come to you.
²² Receive instruction from his mouth,
    and lay up his words in your heart.

Anytime you take your eyes off God to consider something else or some other way to resolve the challenge before you, you are moving away from being in agreement with Him. When it's only God alone and He only, your life will come into agreement with God's ways and God's promise to you is "Rest" and "Peace". This is the way God always intended for the man He created to live his life. Look at Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (that is a display of Heaven on Earth) before their fall into sin. And the good news is, God has given that lifestyle back to you and me again through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus on the Cross.

Yours and my anxiety come from considering other ways than God's. I've got a great prophetic word for you, "Stop it!!". It really is that simple.

Now go back and read Ps 62: 5-8 again. That word Selah at the end means "to stop and think about this" with the intent that after you think about it, you'll be smart enough to do it. I'm in, how about you?

I love sharing the Truth with you. Be Blessed!
