Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.
I am an introvert, a trait that has gotten stronger as I have gotten older. People, even people I love, can be exhausting. Social situations are so uncomfortable. And, of course, I married an extrovert. He loves people, thrives when interacting with others. As you might imagine, we’ve had very different reactions to the social isolation of the past thirteen months.
Psalm 62:2 Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
But David’s prayer this morning brought clearly to mind how I survive difficult social situations, how I survive most any situation where I feel out-of-place, awkward, uncomfortable—God.
Psalm 62:5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him.
Lord, Thank You for loving me fiercely and unconditionally. I look at myself and see awkwardness. You look at me an see Your beloved child. Thank You for the grace to cling to that fact, regardless of my comfort level in any situation. Thank You for being my rock, my salvation, my fortress. Always. It is because of You, Your love, that I will never be shaken. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
Psalm 62:6 Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, and I will not be shaken.
Have a blessed day.
