But the scriptures make us to understand that all-round rest is the will of God for the redeemed Jn. 14:27; Mat. 11:28-29. Therefore, to enjoy rest in a troubled world, the believer must always have God’s presence.  But two cannot walk together expect they agree, and nothing secures divine presence like the fear of God as a lifestyle Amos 3:3; Gen. 39:5,9,21-22;  42:18.
