Spiritual joys surpass all worldly pleasures.
He shared that the greatest pains or pleasures of this world could not compare to what he had experienced of both in a spiritual state. As a result, he was untroubled by anything and feared nothing, asking God for only one thing: that he might not offend Him.
You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and new wine abound. I will both lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
What am I afraid of?
How does thinking of God keep me in His peace?
