The Power of Stillness

Commentators explain that to "hold your peace" means more than just being silent. It is a command to cease striving, whether by fighting or fleeing, and to actively quiet one's fears and complaints. It is a call to compose oneself through confident trust in God's power to save, even when trapped.
