Waits In Silence

Psalms 62:1-2 ESV

1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Silence appears throughout the Bible, and the implications and context are varied. It can accompany awe and fear, just as well as can accompany despair.
Here there is a sense of rest, of total trust. The chaos of the world has receded into the peace of God. When we place our trust in God alone, we are never alone. He is our rock, mighty and sure.

When we are speaking, it's hard to hear. When in motion, it's hard to be still.

When the fanfare of self grows quiet, we then are able to wait on the Lord.
