I restored that which I took not away. Psalm 69:4
Because of sin, Adam lost his peace, for he was afraid. The last
Adam, the Lord Jesus, gives peace to those who believe, “My peace I
give unto you” (John 14:27). He gives position, “Beloved, now are we
the sons of God” (1 John 3:2). He gives possessions, “the riches of His
grace” (Ephesians 1:7), “the riches of His goodness” (Romans 2:4),
and "the riches of his glory” (Phil. 4:19). Truly we “are satisfied with
favour, and full with the blessings of the Lord". —Neil Dougal
Satisfied with Thee, Lord Jesus, I am blest;
Peace which passeth understanding, on Thy breast;
No more doubting, no more trembling,
Oh, what rest! Oh, what rest!—Anon.
