Psalm 62: 1 says, “Truly my soul silently waits for God, from Him is my salvation.” This is a great verse to memorize. Silently waiting means that there are no mental gymnastics. Waiting is a trial all its own. The wait brings up our hidden fleshly desire for control.

It also brings up the dross of impatience. The next time you have to wait for something, be ready to intercept any fleshly thoughts through gratitude. Expressing gratitude to the Lord takes our focus off the wait onto the One who alone is in control of every aspect of our lives.

We could use verse two as our focus of gratitude. ‘Lord I am so grateful that you are the Rock Of My Salvation. You are my Defender. I will not be shaken because my trust is in You alone.’ 

We can use verse five to speak to our soul. It says, “My soul, wait silently for God alone…”
