F.B. Meyer emphasizes that God is the source of true rest, surrounding us with His protective care, much like a fortified city. He contrasts the chaos of external conflicts with the inner peace that comes from trusting in God, illustrating that true strength lies in the ability to remain calm and focused amidst turmoil. Meyer encourages believers to seek this divine rest, which empowers them to undertake significant work for God, as seen in the lives of Solomon and Mary. He asserts that the quiet and patient hearts are often the most powerful, capable of great actions when the time comes.

David Wilkerson emphasizes that Psalms 46 symbolizes the New Testament 'promised land,' representing the divine rest that God offers to His people. He highlights the importance of trusting in God's ever-present strength and help, especially during trials, contrasting it with Israel's rejection of this rest. Wilkerson calls the church to recognize God's desire to communicate and guide us, reminding us that He speaks to us through His Word and the Holy Spirit. He encourages believers to respond in faith, acknowledging that God’s promises and counsel are eternal. Ultimately, he reassures that God is always present, ready to deliver and guide His people.
