Psalm 52
6 The righteous will see and fear, and will laugh at him, saying, 7 “Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches and was strong in his evil desire.” 8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever. 9 I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it, and I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones. (NASB)
Rest. Meditate. Trust. Look at what God has done for us. His promises endures forever. Every day is presented with His goodness and faithfulness. The sun that shines on all - good and evil. The air that fills our lungs, providing oxygen for the blood, which fuel our bodies as we tackle the day. He is faithful even when we are not. But there will be a day when the wicked will be broken, snatched up, and torn from their tent - uprooted from the land of the living. And those who trust in the Lord will remain, like an green - living, vibrant, fruitful, grounded, unshaken, valued, and cherished - in the house of God. It's his house. He's built it. He's planted us there. In his house, where other green olive trees also reside. And it's good to be there. So, wait on His name. Trust in His word. Meditate on his goodness. Trust in his faithfulness. He is our refuge. He is my refuge.
Prayer: Father, let wickedness be far from my heart. Help me to wait on you. Let me give thanks to you forever in your house with your godly ones. Help me to rest and rejoice in my Refuge.
