So in the recent events, the Lord has been kind to bring passages of Scripture to mind that remind me of the hope we have in Christ and brings me great comfort in the God that we serve who is omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign over all things, intimately involved in His creation, and always faithful.

The first two verses are what plays in my mind over and over again. As I sat in silence yesterday blogging with Michael sick on the couch I was reminded that God alone is my rock and my salvation. He is the One that I need to wait on and trust even in the darkest, most unclear situations in my life. Sometimes that's extremely hard, but I'm already thankful for this time in our lives because he has already renewed a new level of hope and trusting that I had self-sufficiently denied or pridefully (although I would never blatantly say this) thought I did not need. However, my sinful, prideful heart could not lead me further from the truth. It is God alone whom I will trust in as I trust in Him for my salvation. In that hope of the truth of the Gospel, I will stand firm in the fullness of his lavished grace that He has extended to me in Christ.

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.

3 How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse. Selah

5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
for my hope is from him.

8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

God is a refuge for us. Selah
9 Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

11 Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work.
