We Need To Pause

 Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.

Psalm 5:1-7 (ESV)
 
David asks God to consider his groaning or meditation, not just his words. Man should ponder, for there is no other way to grasp reality. Constantly being a "busy mind" leads us to be a "busy body," more interested in what is visible, and less interested in the invisible reality.
 
We need to pause daily in the presence of the Lord if we are to gain the strength of the Lord.
