I will be honored throughout the world." - Psalms 46:10 The Hebrew word "raphah" in Psalm 46:10 implies letting go, letting your hands hang down, or ceasing to fight on your own.

They cried out to the Lord," - Exodus 14:10 "But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm."" - Exodus 14:13-14 "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, BUT WAIT for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about." - Acts 1:4 NIV Refers to Luke 24:49… "I am going to send you what my Father has promised; BUT STAY in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." - Luke 24:49 NIV Have you ever run out the door forgetting something important, like car keys or a wallet?
