Be still and know that I am God.
In the words may be observed a duty described to be still before God, and under the dispensations of providence, which implies we must be still as to words, not speaking against the sovereign dispensations of providence or complaining of them, not darkening counsel by words without knowledge, or justifying ourselves and speaking great swelling words of vanity. We must be still as to actions and outward behavior so as not to oppose God in his dispensations: and as to the inward frame of our hearts, cultivate a calm and quite submission of soul to the sovereign pleasure of God, whatever that may be. - Jonathan Edwards
