Peace in the Storm

Commentators emphasize that David's ability to sleep soundly while being hunted by thousands was not foolishness, but a supernatural peace. His rest was a direct result of entrusting his life and circumstances to God. This shows that true peace, even in the midst of crisis, is a gift from God that comes through faith and prayer.
