My soul wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation, and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.
"The psalmist said “My soul, wait thou only upon God: for my expectation is from him.” But now the Christian says, “My soul, wait thou upon my sound doctrines, for my expectation is from them”; or, “My soul, wait thou on my good disposition and feelings, or upon my righteous works, or my fervent prayers, or upon my earnest striving, for my expectation is from these.” To wait upon God only seems one of the unsafe things they can do, and to have their expectation from Him alone is like building on the sand.
They reach out on every side for something to depend on, and, not until everything.
Else fails, will they put their trust in God alone?
George Macdonald says: “We look upon God as our last and feeblest resource.
We only go to Him when we have nowhere else to go.
