"Praise the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise Him, you servants of the Lord,
you who minister in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing praise to His name, for that is pleasant." (Psalm 135:1-3 NIV)
What a privilege to stand in praise before the Lord! It seems to me that today we always want to be moving on; we cannot stand still. So many things claim our attention that we are perpetually on the go. We cannot stop for a moment. But he who is spiritual knows how to stand still. He can stand before God in worship while God makes known to him [God's] will. He can pause and await orders.
May I ask you, dear fellow-worker, is not all your work carried out to a schedule? And has it not to be done in great haste? Can you be persuaded to call a halt and stand a while before [God] in praise? You will learn much that way.
-- Watchman Nee in A Table in the Wilderness
