God alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
Psalm 62:2
When I gaze on God, my rock, my salvation, my stronghold, I am reminded that even those things that shake me, cannot greatly shake me.

Gaze and balance
Tuesday in the Second Week of Lent
God alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
Psalm 62:2
“Remember,” my friend texts, “our balance is tied to our gaze.” Balance tied to gaze—I ponder the truth of these words. How often have I focused on those things that make me fretful, only to experience my whole life thrown off balance? When I look at the ground, I see only the ground. When I allow myself to be distracted by events going on in the distance, or in the distant future, I cannot be mindful of what is right in front of me.
When I gaze on God, my rock, my salvation, my stronghold, I am reminded that even those things that shake me, cannot greatly shake me.
God alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
Psalm 62:2
When I gaze on God, my rock, my salvation, my stronghold, I am reminded that even those things that shake me, cannot greatly shake me.
