Parallel Thoughts

Psalms 65:1 (KJV) [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.]] Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

(Proverbs 16 also read)

It doesn’t come across very clearly in the KJV.  That translation says that praise waits for God.  The idea that comes through in other translations is that it is a wait of silence. That reminds me of this Psalm from the KJV,

Psalms 46:10 (KJV) Be still, and know that I am God:  I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

We went to praise God. We have Joy in our hearts that we went to express.  There are times when God wants us to sit and listen quietly to what He wants to whisper. That’s probably a double truth when we have a burden on our heart and want to share a prayer request.

God says wait quietly.

So?  Is there another way to say it?  Spend more time, listening to what God might be whispering into your ear, or causing to bubble up from your heart.
