Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, June 27th. When you are overwhelmed by heartache and difficulty, it's hard to hear God speak. Today, you'll get help refocusing your attention on God's encouraging message in the storm. How many of you think you know how to listen to God?

Sometimes it's easier to hear him when we're talking to him about something we really want to happen.

Or it's easy to talk to him when everything is sort of going our way and we're just praying and

blessing him and praising him and making some simple request.

Sometimes it's not quite as easy to hear him when we're in the midst of a storm and being

blown as it were almost off course and yet then having to listen to God.

Well, what I want to talk about in this message is the message in the storm.

And I want you to turn, if you will, to Psalm 62.

And this happens to be one of my favorite Psalms because I think it is a key to so much and to so many instances and so many experiences in life.

And I want us to read just the first eight verses of Psalm 62.

The King James Version starts off,

My soul wait there only upon God for my expectation is from him.

I love that verse in the King James.

But he says, my soul waits in silence for God only.

From him is my salvation.

He only is my rock in my salvation.

My stronghold, I shall not be greatly shaken. How long will you assail a man that you may

murder him all of you, like a leaning wall like a tottering fence? They have counseled only to thrust

him down from his high position.

They delight in falsehood.

They bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse.

My soul wait in silence for God only.
