<p><em>&quot;Be <strong>silent </strong>before the Lord.&quot;</em> Psalm 37:7 <br />
    <br />
    We are not to speak back to God, when He speaks to us. We are not to <em>reason </em>with Him or <em>dispute </em>with Him; but are to bow in silent and loving acquiescence before Him. &quot;Be still, and know that I am God.&quot; It is in those providences which cut sorely into our lives, and require sacrifice and loss on our part — that we are especially called to this duty. <br />
    <br />
    There is a moving illustration of silence to God, in the case of Aaron when his sons had offered strange fire, and had died for their disobedience and sacrilege. The record says, <em>&quot;And Aaron held his peace.&quot;</em> He made no natural human outcry of grief. He accepted the terrible penalty as unquestionably just — and bowed in the acquiescence of faith. <br />
    <br />
    This silence to God, should be our attitude in all times of trial, when God's ways with us are bitter and painful. Why should we complain at anything that our <em>Father </em>may do? We have no right to utter a word of murmuring, for He is our sovereign Lord; and our simple duty is instant, unquestioning submission. We have no reason to complain — for we know that <strong>all God's dealings with us </strong>are in loving wisdom. His will is always best for us — whatever sacrifice or suffering it may cost.<br />
    <br />
    &quot;I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for You are the one who has done this!&quot; Psalm 39:9
