"A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."
Psalms 112:5-7
These are some cool verses explaining what a good man is. :) My favorite part here is the idea of being fixed and unable to be moved. That idea of faith and solidity is compelling. Not easy, but important.
Often "evil tidings" get to us, don't they? We hear some bad news and we immediately are in a bad mood, or worse. I love the idea of being able to be above that because of our trust in the Lord. To not fall apart when things go wrong, but to be able to be strong because we know that God will sustain us.
Today, let's have that solid anchor of trust in the Lord. Let's not allow our hearts to be moved by evil tidings. Let's be faithful to God, and fixed in our faith, knowing that God is in charge and that things will work out as they should--no matter what comes.
