Though hope rises with increasing vaccination numbers and decreasing coronavirus cases, life has not returned to “normal” and silence can still fill our days as we wait for this pandemic to be over.
Psalm 62:1-8 reminds us to find peace with God in the silence: “For God alone my soul in silence waits; from God comes my salvation. God alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.For God alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in God. God alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken. In God is my safety and my honour, my strong rock and my refuge. Put your trust in God always, O people, pour out your hearts before the one who is your refuge.”
Find hope with the strength that God offers us as a place that is a stronghold and a refuge. Know you are never alone and God will strengthen us as we face our daily tasks and our hope-filled future.
