"Be still..."

So, it is I've been given direction.
Ps 4.4
  1. Stand in awe,
  2. sin not:
  3. commmune/meditate with your own heart...
  4. be still...
The last point is where I will focus.  A wise christian once counseled, "when in doubt don't."  The same applies to "stand still" when awaiting direction or instruction from the leadership of the Holy Ghost.
While in the "still" mode, one should be "standing in awe," or worshiping at all times.  It goes without saying we should practice the art of "sinning less."  At the same time one should be meditating on Him and "whatsoever is good, honest and true." (Phil 4.8)
Being still, as one can see, doesn't mean being idle.
Being still is another way one can magnify and honor our Lord because one is waiting on His perfect will.
Do not get discouraged while in this mode.  He tells us repeatedly to "put our trust" in Him (Ps 4.5).
"Offer the sacrifices of righteousness..." (Ps 4.5).
