Envision God As Your Safety and Strength through the Imagery of Psalm 62v5-7
09:31 | 03-05-2026
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God’s presence. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. Acts 17:25 NIV “...He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Job 34:14-15 NIV “If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.” Psalms 62:5-7 (NASB) 5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Waiting in silence for God means quieting your body and your mind so you can pay attention to the whisper of God’s Spirit. In my life the whisper of God’s Spirit is most often when he lifts words off the page of his word to me. And that’s what these verses do for me. And I pray the Spirit of God does that for you too in this meditation. Who can you share this podcast with?
