"In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength" (Isa. 30 :15.)

There is indeed strength given us in being quiet before God. Man is so prone to do and say, and attend to things himself rather than to allow God to work out things for him, while he patiently and humbly waits before Him. It is one thing to talk about this, and quite another to actually wait before God. It is never right to speak or act hastily. We can always afford to wait until we know or understand the mind of the Lord. We may have to wait to see or understand the Lord's mind; it humbles us, it subdues our spirit, it often enables us to see partial wrongs in ourselves, things to be corrected in us as well as in others. But let us quietly and confidently wait on the Lord, and our strength and faith and joy in the Lord shall be renewed.
