Surrounded by the Good Things of God

 

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.”

Psalm 62:5

 

Here’s a little observation from the verse above –

The word God is in the center of the verse with the word rest to the left of God and hope to the right.

So you might say that when you center your life on God, you will find rest on your left and hope on your right.

In other words – you are kept – you are surrounded – by the good things of God.

There is no rest and no hope in a life devoid of God.

But center your life on Him and He brings you to a place of rest and a place of hope.

 

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Psalm 91:1

 

“You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.”

Job 11:18

 

What a wonderful place to be – resting and hoping in God who is the center of your life!

Take the time today to shut off the television, tune out the social media, step away from all of life’s distractions, quiet yourself and come into His presence.

Find in Him both rest and hope.

Find yourself surrounded by the good things of God!
