「你們要住手，要知道我是神。」－詩篇46:10
詩篇中，有那一個字詞，能比一個簡單的細拉（停頓）傳神？
有什麼比得上亂石崩雲前的無聲，或風雨前的寧靜更攝人心魄？有什麼能像安靜中的能力，更能觸及我們內心深處呢？
一顆歇下勞苦重壓的心，必能得著「超越人所能理解的平安」（腓立比書4:7）、一切能力來源的「平靜信靠」（以賽亞書30:15），與世界所無力提供，也無法奪走的甜美安息。
在我們靈裡深處，有一塊讓神安家的靜謐角落；我們若走進其中，斥退所有閒雜聲音，就能聽到神微弱、低聲的細語。
轉動最飛快的車輪，它的軸心卻不動分毫；在最喧囂忙亂的生活中，也同樣有塊安靜的角落，使我們能在永恆的寧靜中，享受神的同在。
認識神的獨一方式，就是：「你們要安靜，要認識。」「惟耶和華在祂的聖殿中：全地都當在祂面前靜默無聲！」（哈巴谷2.20）

"Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10).Is there any note of music in all the chorus as mighty as the emphatic pause? Is there any word in all the Psalter more eloquent than that one word, Selah Pause.? Is there anything more thrilling and awful than the hush that comes before the bursting of the tempest and the strange quiet that seems to fall upon all nature before some preternatural phenomenon or convulsion? Is there anything that can touch our hearts as the power of stillness?
There is for the heart that will cease from itself, "the peace of God that passeth all understanding," a "quietness and confidence" which is the source of all strength, a sweet peace "which nothing can offend," a deep rest which the world can neither give nor take away. There is in the deepest center of the soul a chamber of peace where God dwells, and where, if we will only enter in and hush every other sound, we can hear His still, small voice.
There is in the swiftest wheel that revolves upon its axis a place in the very center, where there is no movement at all; and so in the busiest life there may be a place where we dwell alone with God, in eternal stillness, There is only one way to know God. "Be still, and know." "God is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him." --Selected
