Psalm 62:5-12 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
In a world where words and actions are frequently unkind, isn’t it wonderful to know that God is entirely kind? Our hearts are always safe with God. Always. He does not love us because we are respectful or kind to Him. He loves us because He is powerful and infinitely kind enough for all of us no matter what the state of our hearts. As humans, we can accept or reject God and He will still be kind. However, how sweet to enjoy fellowship with Him in Christ. Seek His kind heart!
God Is Powerful and Kind
5
Only God gives inward peace,
and I depend on him.
6
God alone is the mighty rock
that keeps me safe,
and he is the fortress
where I feel secure.
7
God saves me and honors me.
He is that mighty rock
where I find safety.
8
Trust God, my friends,
and always tell him
each one of your concerns.
God is our place of safety.
9
We humans are only a breath;
none of us are truly great.
All of us together weigh less
than a puff of air.
10
Don’t trust in violence
or depend on dishonesty
or rely on great wealth.
11
I heard God say two things:
“I am powerful,
12
and I am very kind.”
The Lord rewards each of us
according to what we do.
Prayer: Lord, I can always depend on your kindness and love. I put my trust in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
