for God only

"My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us."

Psalm 62:1-2; 5-8

I have been waiting on God. But have I been waiting for God only? Have I made Him my only rock and have I trusted in Him alone?
I have been waiting on circumstances, on people, on advice...I have put my trust in those things and telling myself that I am relying on God to show me what is next. Yes, God does work through circumstances, people and the advice of godly brothers and sisters in Christ, but I have put my hope in those things when my hope should be in God.
I have poured out my heart to other people instead of God. There is nothing wrong with telling others your heart; nothing wrong with confiding in someone and receiving advice and their opinions. However, I have poured out my heart to others and not to the only One who can actually be my refuge. I have spent my energy elsewhere and forgotten to confide in my God and receive strength and wisdom from Him.
Lord, forgive me for where I have trusted in others instead of you. Help me to seek You alone for true wisdom. Help me to rest in your glory and your presence. I thank You, Lord, that you are persistent with me and that You are patient with me. I thank you that you are teaching me your ways and that you are leading me closer to You. My next step is to be closer to You than I am now. Each step should lead to You; always closer and closer to God only.
