"Steadfast Hearts in Uncertain Times"
Psalm 112:6-8
New Living Translation
Â
6 Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered. 7 They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.8 They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
Psalm 112:6-8 (NIV) states, "Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in theend, they will look in triumph on their foes."
In this passage, we find profound encouragement for the righteous—those who live according to God's will. The psalmist reminds us that a life anchored in faith brings stability, even amidst life's storms. The righteous are unshaken because their trust is in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5-6). They face challenges without fear because their hearts are steadfast, reflecting a deep-rooted confidence in God's promises.
As we embrace this truth, we are called to cultivate a steadfast heart, relying on God's faithfulness. In doing so, we're assured that we will look in triumph on our foes, not because we are mighty, but because our God is.
In prayer, let us ask for hearts that trust Him fully, especially in uncertain times.
