solid, massive, secure
"The Christian life is going to God. In going to God Christians travel the same ground that everyone else walks on, breathe the same air, drink the same water, shop in the same stores, read the same newspapers, are citizens under the same governments, pay the same prices for groceries and gasoline, fear the same dangers, are subject to the same pressures, get the same distresses, are buried in the same ground.

"The difference is that each step we walke, each breath we breathe, we know we are preserved by God, we know we are accompanied by God, we know we are ruled by God; and therfore no matter what doubts we endure or what accidents we experience, the Lord will guard us from every evil, he guards our very life.

"...Faith is not a precarious affair of chance escape from satanic assaults. It is the solid, massive, secure experience of God, who keeps all evil from getting inside us, who guards our life, who guards us when we leave and when we return, who guards us now, who guards us always."

--Eugene H. Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction
