In the context of the Bible, "stilleth" is often used to describe the divine action of God in calming storms, quelling fears, or bringing peace to tumultuous situations. This term is found in various translations of the Bible, including the King James Version, and is reflective of God's sovereign power over creation and His ability to bring tranquility to the hearts of His people.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Control Over Nature:</b><br> The concept of God stilling the natural world is vividly illustrated in the Psalms. In <a href="/psalms/65-7.htm">Psalm 65:7</a> , it is written, "You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations." This verse highlights God's authority over the chaotic forces of nature, symbolizing His power to bring order and peace.<br><br>2. <b>Peace in the Midst of Chaos:</b><br> The calming of the storm by Jesus is a New Testament example of "stilling." In <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a> , Jesus rebukes the wind and says to the sea, "Peace, be still!" The wind ceases, and there is a great calm. This miracle demonstrates Jesus' divine authority and His ability to bring peace to both the physical and spiritual realms.<br><br>3. <b>Spiritual Peace:</b><br> Beyond the physical calming of storms, "stilling" also refers to the peace God provides to the human soul. In <a href="/psalms/107-29.htm">Psalm 107:29</a> , it is stated, "He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed." This imagery is often interpreted as a metaphor for the peace God offers to those who trust in Him, quieting the storms of anxiety and fear within.<br><br>4. <b>God's Sovereignty:</b><br> The act of stilling is a testament to God's sovereignty and His ultimate control over all creation. It reassures believers of His omnipotence and His ability to intervene in the world, providing comfort and stability amidst life's uncertainties.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The use of "stilleth" in Scripture underscores the belief in God's active involvement in the world. It reflects the understanding that God is not distant or detached but is intimately aware of and responsive to the needs of His creation. The ability to still the chaos of the natural world and the human heart is a profound demonstration of His love and care for humanity.<br><br>In a broader theological context, the concept of God stilling the storms of life serves as a reminder of the peace that surpasses all understanding, which is available through faith in Jesus Christ. It encourages believers to seek refuge in God, trusting in His power to bring calm and assurance in the midst of life's trials.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/lowe/gods_answers/chapter_iii_1870-1871_workers_meetings.htm"><span class="l">1870-1871.
