" ELOHIM"



" ELOHIM"Psalm 621 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.2 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved. 3 How long will you attack a man? You shall be slain, all of you, Like a leaning wall and a tottering fence. 4 They only consult to cast him down from his high position; They delight in lies; They bless with their mouth, But they curse inwardly. Selah 5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. 8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah 9 Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor. 10 Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them.11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God. 12 Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.


God is mentioned seven times in the above Psalm. As it occurs in the plural, in the Christian sense as read in the reflected light of the Scriptures, it denoted the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in their united action of power.
1. Salvation. 1 Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.
2. Expectation5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.
3. Protection 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.
4. Power 7 In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God.
5. Safety 8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah
6. Revelation11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.

O God of the impossible!Since all things are to TheeBut soil in which OmnipotenceCan work almightily.Each trial may to us becomeThe means that will displayHow O'er what seems impossibleOur God holds perfect way!The very storm that beat uponOur little barque so frail, But manifest Thy power to quellAll forces that assail.The things those are too hard for us.The foes that are too strong.Are just the very ones that mayAwake a triumph song.O God of the impossible,When we no hope can see,Grant us the faith that still believesALL possible to Thee!~ Author Unknown ~


David's confidence in God.
We are in the way both of duty and comfort, when our souls wait upon God; when we cheerfully give up ourselves, and all our affairs, to his will and wisdom; when we leave ourselves to all the ways of his providence, and patiently expect the event, with full satisfaction in his goodness. See the ground and reason of this dependence. By his grace he has supported me, and by his providence delivered me. He only can be my Rock and my salvation; creatures are nothing without him, therefore I will look above them to him. Trusting in God, the heart is fixed. If God be for us, we need not fear what man can do against us. David having put his confidence in God, foresees the overthrow of his enemies. We have found it good to wait upon the Lord, and should charge our souls to have such constant dependence upon him, as may make us always easy. If God will save my soul, I may well leave every thing else to his disposal, knowing all shall turn to my salvation. And as David's faith in God advances to an unshaken steadfastness, so his joy in God improves into a holy triumph. Meditation and prayer are blessed means of strengthening faith and hope. (Ps 62:8-12)
