No Backup Plan

 As we worship this morning we are directed to:

Psalm 62:5-7

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

    for my hope is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,

    my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

    my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Two sets of words jump out of this passage that indicate a very personal and exclusive relationship.

If I were to highlight the word "my", it would be so distracting the rest of the passage would be obscured.  That is a very personal psalm.

Then twice the exclusive nature of the relationship is called out.

Today, we have friends (plural), second homes (plural), second cars (plural), multiple TVs (plural), bathrooms, . . . OSHA and AARP articles have taught to climb a ladder only moving one hand or foot at a time.  We have 401Ks and IRAs . . . 

We mitigate risk.

Our faith, however, rests solely on God.  We do not need a backup plan.
