"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"- Exodus 14:14 (NIV).
Being still goes beyond hands and feet. We also need to keep our mouths in check: quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger (James 1;19). Like the rupture of a dam or the eruption of a volcano, only a fool allows his mouth full vent, when we should remain quiet (Proverbs 29:11). Be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10). You will never "know" if you cannot be "still." God works our quietness to the good when we quietly wait for His salvation (Lamentations 3:26). He will fight for you. Our hearts should melt to know, God sees a gentle and quiet spirit as precious and imperishably beautiful (1 Peter 3:4).
