A Resident, Not a Visitor
Commentators like Spurgeon and Barnes emphasize that the promise of this verse is for those who "dwell" with God, not just visit Him occasionally. This implies a deep, continuous, and intimate relationship—living with God as a child at home, rather than as a guest. This close, abiding relationship is the prerequisite for experiencing the profound protection described.
