Bebe's interpretation
In today's society, everyone strives to work more, do more, make more money, and post more pictures on social media. Taking time off is seen as unproductive or lazy. While it can be difficult for us to set aside time in our busy days to rest and be quiet before God, it is important for us to reflect on what the Lord tells us in this verse: In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.
Silence and rest are essential parts of our walks with God. It is easy to lose sight of what God wants us to do when we become so busy pursuing our worldly desires. While the circumstances surrounding the Israelites differ from our own today, God hasn't changed. In repentance and rest, He promises us salvation, and in quietness and trust in Him, He will give us strength. In Genesis, God created for six days and rested on the seventh day. His emphasis on rest has been clear since the beginning. 
So today, take a few minutes out of your busy day to be in a quiet place and rest in God. Repent, rest, stay calm, and trust. The more we make these habits, the more peace and strength we will have.
