I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. 

He alone is my rock and my salvation, 

my stronghold; 

I will never be shaken.

Psalms 62:1-2 CSB

I am at rest. 

Exhale.

Sit quietly. 

The word here is "dumiyyah";

a silence

a quiet waiting

repose (rest, restful, peaceful)

My soul, our old friend "nephesh", the very core of who we are, my soul, me, is a silence in God alone. 

A silence.

There are moments when we are with someone and we know that we are fully accepted. That we don't have to strive or prove or do or say anything, that we are known and loved.

A silence.

Maybe that's an everyday thing, an occasional moment, or a time a long way back in your memory, in this moment as David penned these words, he was there. 

Fully known

And deeply loved 

In Him there is no striving for acceptance, and our hope is, our hope secured in Jesus, is that our soul will know that silence as not a distant memory or a moment, but as normal.

This is the renewal of all things, when every hurt will be unhurt, everything broken will be unbroken, and we, our soul, our hearts, can rest. 

A silence.

Whatever is in front of us today, may we have a touch of our God's heart for us, known, accepted, loved.
