Listen from:
SA 14:17{Here is the whole secret of rest from the very beginning to the very end. The word of our King is all we have and all we need for deep, utter heart-rest, which no surface waves of this troublesome world can disturb. What gave "rest from thy sorrow and from thy fear" at the very first, when we wanted salvation and peace? It was not some vague, pleasing impression, some indefinable hush that came to us (or if it was, the unreality of the rest was soon proved), but some word of our King which we saw to be worthy of all acceptation; we believed it, and by it Jesus gave us rest. There is no other means of rest for all the way but the very same. The moment we simply believe any word of the King, we find that it is truly "for rest," about the point to which it refers. And if we would but go on taking the King's word about every single thing, we should always find it, then and there, "for rest.”
The Master hath said it! Rejoicing in this,
We ask not for sign or for token;
His word is enough for our confident bliss,
“The Scripture cannot be broken!”
