April 14 – Do Not Be Moved

Psalm 62:6 –
"Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken." (NIV)

SITREP:
What are you standing on when everything starts to shake? No matter what battles come, stand firm in faith. God is your unshakable fortress. Psalm 62 was written by King David—a man who knew betrayal, warfare, and the pressure of command. Despite all the chaos and enemies surrounding him, David pins his hope on one thing: the unchanging strength of God.

This verse is more than poetry—it’s a warrior’s creed:

• "Truly He is my rock and my salvation." – God isn’t just a distant figure—He’s the steady ground beneath your boots, the rescuer in the heat of battle.
• "He is my fortress." – David didn’t trust in walls or armies alone—he trusted in the God who never fails.
• "I will not be shaken." – It doesn’t mean the enemy won’t come. It means the enemy won’t win.

Psalm 62:6 isn’t about ignoring threats—it’s about facing them with confidence in a God who’s tougher than anything you’ll encounter.

How This Applies to a Soldier’s Faith:
If you’ve ever served, you understand the value of a strong position. In battle, holding the line isn’t optional—it’s survival. Spiritually, Psalm 62:6 is a call to plant your feet and trust that your position is secure in God.

1. God is the Ultimate Stronghold
• Bunkers may offer temporary safety, but God is the only refuge that cannot be overrun.
• You can trust Him in the heat of the fight, when plans fall apart, or when you feel outflanked.
2. Unshakable Faith is Essential in Battle
• The best-trained soldier can still be shaken by fear. But those who anchor themselves in God's truth won't break under pressure.
3. True Strength Comes from God, Not Just Physical Power
• Your training gets you ready, but it’s your faith that keeps you grounded when everything else collapses.
4. No Attack Can Overcome God’s Protection
• David isn’t saying there won’t be attacks—he’s saying they won’t take him down. That promise still holds for you.

ENDEX:
Psalm 62:6 is a soldier’s command to dig in and hold fast—not in your own strength, but in God’s. When life hits hard, when the fight drags on, or when everything around you seems to be falling apart, remember this: God is your rock. Your fortress. Your defense. You don’t have to retreat. You don’t have to fear. You will not be moved—not because of your toughness, but because of His.
