The Discipline of Quiet Waiting
Commentators explain that to "quietly wait" is not passive inactivity but an active spiritual posture. It means intentionally abstaining from murmuring, complaining, or quarreling with God during hardship. It is the cultivation of a calm and resigned mind that rests on God's goodness, even when His help is not immediately visible.
