These verses are some of the most beautiful in scripture. They always captivate me when I encounter them. Upon reading them again, it made me realize how stillness before God has rarely been a component of my faith and especially not now. I have recently experienced a wonderful revitalization of prayer, but this aspect is surely lacking. I find it more simple to raise petitions and give thanks and preach the gospel to myself than to just sit and meditate on God. I hope that as I continue to grow in faith that this aspect grows as well. How enticing to imagine that as I delight myself more in the lord, the desires of my heard will be granted. I can't help but think that the change is more likely in what those desires are rather than God relenting and finally giving me a huffy on my birthday. I want my heart to change!
