Waiting in silence is not something that comes naturally to
most, especially when unsteady circumstances call for a rock and salvation
stronghold that cannot be shaken. Perhaps “pour out your hearts” should begin
the psalm and “wait in silence” end it. Or maybe the two can be considered the
same thing when one trusts that the God who searches hearts and minds knows
what we need before we do. And even if our lives are relatively stable neither those
of high degree nor those of low estate can long delay the inevitable for like a fleeting
breath the span of life doesn't even tip the scale of eternity. But if we trust
our lives are in the hands of the One to whom steadfast love belongs we are
able to endure even the specter of our inevitable end where we will be repaid
according to our deeds for the rock of salvation was crowned
with a cross so that our “Lord have mercy” would not fall on deaf ears.
