**Job 37:14** — *"Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God."*
Elihu doesn't say *search harder* or *work more*. He says: **stand still**.
In the original Hebrew, the word translated "consider" carries the weight of deep, attentive observation — the posture of someone who stops moving long enough to actually *see*. This is not passive resignation. It is disciplined wonder.
Job had been speaking — defending, lamenting, demanding answers. And into that storm of words, Elihu calls him to a different posture entirely: stillness before the sovereign.
Psalm 46:10 echoes it: *"Be still and know that I am God."* The knowing comes *after* the stillness.
There is a kind of wisdom that cannot be pursued — only received. A grace that will not compete with your noise.
Walk slowly today. Let the wonders of God arrive in the quiet you choose to keep.
