Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By MarkWaldrop

Scripture Reading
Psalms 62:1-2 (ESV)
To the choirmaster: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.  
For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.  
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Reflection
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, finding moments of silence can be challenging. Yet, it is in these quiet moments that we can truly connect with our Father, who knows best. David, in his psalm, emphasizes the importance of waiting in silence for God. It is in this stillness that we can hear His voice, receive His guidance, and find our salvation.

David describes God as his rock, his salvation, and his fortress. These metaphors convey strength, stability, and protection. When we place our trust in God, we are anchoring ourselves to a foundation that cannot be moved by life's storms. No matter the challenges or uncertainties we face, we can rest assured that our Father is with us, providing the security and peace we need.

Waiting in silence for God is an act of faith and trust. It means acknowledging that He is in control and that His timing is perfect. It means surrendering our worries and fears to Him, knowing that He will guide us through. Our Father knows best, and His plans for us are for our good.

Prayer
Heavenly Father,  
In the quiet moments, help us to wait for You in silence. Remind us that our salvation comes from You alone. You are our rock, our fortress, and our stronghold. Strengthen our faith to trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. When we face challenges, help us to remember that we shall not be greatly shaken because we are anchored in You. ThThought for the Day
