My soul finds rest in God alone.

1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Psalm 62:1-2 (NIV)


This verse reminds me of Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me". Except that it's turned on its head. Instead of a commandment from God, it is an exclamation of God's greatness. I have no other gods before me, because my salvation comes from my God. He is my rock, my fortress. My soul finds rest in him. It's just so uplifting to view one of the commandments, and the one Jesus said was the most important, in such a wonderful new light.
