There is a sweet and profitable lesson taught us in Psalms 62 and 63. The heart is ever prone to divide its confidence between God and the creature. This will never do. We must “wait only upon God.” He only must be our “rock,” our “salvation,” and our “defense.” This is Psalm 62.
Then we are frequently tempted to look to an arm of flesh first, and when that fails we look to God. This will never do, either. He must be our first as well as our only resource.
“O God, Thou art my God, early will I seek Thee.”
This is the way in which the heart should ever treat the blessed God. This is the lesson of Psalm 63. When we have learned the blessedness of seeking God “only,” we shall be sure to seek Him “early.”
