Psalm 62:2, “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.”
Amid opposition and threats, David looked to God alone for deliverance. Three times in this psalm, he declared his unwavering trust in “God alone.” With faith in both God’s power and love, he did not seek help elsewhere but relied entirely on Him.
Perhaps you’ve read the classic devotional Streams in the Desert, written by Lettie Cowman. She and her husband, Charles Cowman, founded the Japan Evangelistic Band as part of their missionary outreach.
At one point, they faced an urgent financial crisis. With no resources and no clear way to meet their growing needs, the situation seemed impossible. Yet Charles refused to rely on fundraising techniques or human intervention—he trusted God alone to provide. Confident that God would supply their needs, he prayed fervently. Soon after, an unexpected gift arrived, matching exactly what was required.
When troubles arise, we often trust in ourselves or other resources. Yet, the wisest choice is to place everything in God’s hands. He knows our needs, cares deeply, and is fully able to provide—no matter the circumstances.
“It is a tragedy when a man has no invisible means of support.”—T. J. Bach
Application Questions: Where are you prone to look for help when troubles come your way? What does it mean to trust in God alone? What situation can you even now fully trust Him to resolve?
