Both of these are examples of men who learned the tremendous principle in the Word of God about divine quietness. The child of God must not give in to fleshly activity. This stems from unbelief, which always magnifies difficulties and creates an atmosphere of haste. It is vital for believers to learn not to let their emotions govern their actions.
Christians gain nothing by restless, anxious effort.
The flesh cannot study to be quiet. Faith is the only means to raise the soul to God's standards, provisions, and life. Through the precious promises in His Word, God Himself enables us to stand still. When unbelief is driven from the scene, God enters in with quietness to give us rest. The L ORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
