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

Salvation.

A big chunk of this Psalm, this song David wrote, is about those who are pressing in, pushing in on him. 

He starts with and returns to Salvation, to the one who saves, who delivers him from all the noise and pressure and drama of life, even while those things are still happening. 

This song seems to hold faith in, belief in the one who saves in the midst of trying circumstances:

David is threatened, attacked, seen as being weak (a leaning wall about ready to collapse v3). 

Yet in all of that he holds firm to God Alone.

God Alone is the source of salvation, of deliverance, and the result of salvation. 

When do we need a rock or a stronghold?

We need those things in the storm, or when our enemy is closing in, when the battle is on.

If that's you today, be like David, start with God Alone, know that He is your salvation.
