On Stillness, Rest and Silence...

Psalm 46:10


Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God.

Mark 4:39


And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased ( sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).

Hebrews 4:9-10    


9 So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the [true] people of God;

10 For he who has once entered [God’s] rest also has ceased from [the weariness and pain] of human labors, just as God rested from those labors [a]peculiarly His own.

Psalm 62:1 



A Psalm of David. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation.

Psalm 65:1


To You belongs silence (the submissive wonder of reverence which bursts forth into praise) and praise is due and fitting to You, O God, in Zion; and to You shall the vow be performed.

Habakkuk 2:20

But the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth hush and keep silence before Him.

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small 
voice.



Isaiah 30:15

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength.
