Peace in Adversity
Commentators explain that the "rest" God gives is not an escape from hardship, but an inner peace and tranquility amidst the "days of adversity." This calm spirit, which Spurgeon calls "holy quietism," is a blessing learned through God's discipline. It allows a believer to patiently endure suffering with a quiet confidence in God's control, rather than being consumed by anxiety or impatience.
