When Action Means Stillness
Commentators explain that Moses' command to "stand still" is not a call for passive laziness, but for active, courageous trust when human effort is futile. In moments when we are trapped and can do nothing, our duty is to quiet our fears, compose our hearts in God, and wait for His deliverance. As one scholar puts it, we must get "above our fears" to see God's salvation.
