There is a "resting place and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you" (Dt 12:9). God said, "'It is the place which I have prepared'" (Ex 23:20) and "'I will give it to you'" (Nu 10:29). Then the Psalmist exclaimed "Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place" (Ps 132:8) because "the Lord has chosen Zion . . . for His habitation" (:13). Furthermore, "'This is my resting place forever; Here will I dwell, for I have desired it'" (:14). It is prophesied that "in that day . . . His resting place will be glorious" (Isa 11:10). Resting is not just interpreted as being refreshed. It also means there is a presence of something. "The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him" (Isa 11:2). "When the Spirit rested [abided with] they prophesied" (Num 11:25). Also the quality of something can be present. "Wisdom rests in the heart" (Pr 14:33). Or otherwise "anger rests in the bosom of fools" (Eccl 7:9).
Also it might be said in a practical sense that God is in control because "He prevailed over" (Jud 3:10) a situation when the "Lord gave them rest on every side" (Jos 21:44). "The land had rest from war" (11:23,14:15) and "had rest for forty years" (3:11). Therefore "rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" (Ps 37:7). Consider that "the promise of entering His rest still stands" (Heb 4:1). Even Paul had "no rest for my spirit, not finding Titus" (2Co 2:13). His "flesh had no rest" (7:5) and they were "afflicted on every side" (:5). But that can become a "sabbath of complete rest" (Ex 31:15) or "solemn rest for you, that you may humble your souls" (Lev 16:31). A humbling can be experienced when you are afflicted and submission can take place. "But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus" (2Co 7:6).
