telling him to be quiet

The natural state according to entropy is disorder & chaos. This meshes somehow with inertia since objects at rest tend to stay at rest -- but since we're always in chaotic movement, you have perpetual motion going nowhere.

Which is why Ps46:10 is so powerful. It hits the very core of man's problem w/ Him. God Eternal does not move. HE IS. It's man who runs away. It's man who is too busy moving to look for a set God. It's man who does the nonstillness.

Second powerful application: The beingstill, this verse isn't just to you, but to the howlers. Because even they, just like the fleeing into pigs, even they will acknowledge the YHWH.

Be still. Be still.

I AM.
