“My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places” (Isaiah 32:18). 

God provides security for His own people. Though competitive and threatening storms of life rise on occasion, God’s peace quiets us in the midst of the storm. We dwell in the secret and secure place where the activities of discord and doubt dwell on the outside rather than within. He will keep us here in this place of perfect peace if we maintain our focus on Him and not on the storms. God knows how to navigate the ship in the most troubled of waters. When facing the greatest of difficulties, we do not desire a novice to be at the helm. Experience counts best when it is needed the most. Jesus has triumphantly passed through every barrier on earth including death. He, as our High Priest, has now even passed through the heavens. There is no experience on earth, or in heaven that the Man, Jesus Christ is not completely familiar with. We can hold fast to the confidence and not waiver because of some misfortune that may be strange to us. What He has already done He is able to do with us and in us as long as we remain where He placed us. This is our resting place because of the assurance that we have in knowing that God is with us. He is working all things together that each part may contribute to a completed life for our good and for His glory.
