The gospel’s blessing of peace prepares the saint for trials.
The peace which the gospel brings and speaks to the heart, will make the creature ready to wade through any trial or trouble that meets them in their Christian course.
He who enjoys in his bosom the peace of the gospel, is the person, and the only person, that stands shod for all ways, prepared for all troubles and trials. None can make a shoe to the creature’s foot, so as he shall go easy on a hard way, but Christ. He can do it to the creature’s full content. And how doth he it? Truly no other way than by under-laying it, or, if you will, lining it, with the peace of the gospel.
~William Gurnall
