The second section of Psalms, known as the Exodus Psalms, remind us that the God who redeemed us is still with us.

In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us.

Today we join Scott Pauli in opening God's

roadmap for life. Find your place in the Word of God in the Psalms and let's discover what God has

for us along the way. The famous author Charles Dickens wrote a classic novel about a young orphan named Pip.

Perhaps you've read it. It's called Great Expectations, and it really deals with the ambition of the human heart.

You know, we live in a world filled with ambitious people, people, frankly, that have great expectations.

But I want to tell you that great expectations that are rooted in men will always, always,

always, always lead you to disappointment. That's why we have such a disappointed world,

people who've come to the end of themselves. The only true great expectations that you can have in life that will be fulfilled

are the expectations in a great God.

It's the expectation that is rooted in faith.

Psalm 62, our Psalm of the day, is a Psalm that teaches us something about these great expectations. Now ours is a day, frankly,

of lower and lower expectations because expectations are based on the wrong thing. You see,

if you get your eye and heart on the greatness of God, then expectations get raised. Listen to a little

bit, Psalm 62, truly my soul waiteth upon God.

From him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense.

I shall not be greatly moved. Did you hear the words he only? In verse five, we read these words,

my soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from him. Again, verse six, he only is my

rock and my salvation. He is my defense, I shall not be moved.

Do you hear the repetition here of He only, God only?

This particular Psalm was written by David during Absalom's rebellion.
