“…now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil confronting me.” (I Kings 5: 4, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

We are protected on all sides. We are embraced in God’s Love and guarded by His Spirit. There is no entry point for an enemy to get through. There is no vulnerable gate where evil can sneak in and attack us.

Let’s know that God truly does give us rest. This is a rest from worry and personal responsibility. It is a rest from ruminating or feeling defensive or victimized. We are surrounded by God, by good, by His peace. We can’t truly escape God’s presence, so our situation is always in the middle of good. God assures that our being is safe, because He knows us, loves us, and is the law of our lives, our good lives.

This rest on every side means also that we needn’t look behind us and feel that the past is full of unrest. Nor should we look ahead of us in fear of the future. The before, the now, and the later are all God’s place, His space of Life, and we dwell there. We can know this and let go of the feeling that there is an adversary, an adversity, haunting us or awaiting us.

We have comfort and peace on all sides. We have life in God right now, yesterday, always.
