But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon, and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
(1 Chronicles 22:9)

Peace and quiet.....rest on every side......this would be perfect!

“Teach me, and I will be quiet;
show me where I have been wrong.

(Job 6:24)

I think of myself as being a quiet person, but that really only applies to an outward trait.  Inside my quiet personality is a mind racing at a mile a minute, not necessarily listening to anyone or anything except my own agenda. 

God wants me to quiet my mind in order for Him to be able to  teach me what He wants and needs me to know.  I must work on quieting my thoughts so that I'm able to receive God's will for me and that takes practice and a conscious effort to still my mind.
