Jos 21:44 "And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD helped them conquer all their enemies."
Now here's a thought! The Lord promised Moses rest way back in Deuteronomy. Then all the way towards the end of Joshua he says he is giving them that rest. Well, just look at all that Israel had to endure to receive that rest. Even the verse says they had rest because "none of their enemies could stand against them." I always think God will give me supernatural rest in spite of my enemies or simply remove them from my life. But here seems to suggest the rest the Lord offered was only after they fought off their enemies supernaturally.
So if you are wanting rest but seem to just find another fight, keep fighting! And ask the Lord for supernaturally victory. Then you will know his supernatural rest.
