📖 Scripture
“They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” — Psalm 112:7 (ESV)
📜 Background
Psalm 112 describes the life of a righteous person—one who fears the Lord and walks in His ways. This verse emphasizes the unshakable trust of the faithful, who remain steadfast even when facing uncertainty. Their confidence is not in circumstances, but in the unfailing goodness of God.
💡 Devotional
Life is full of unexpected twists—disappointments, setbacks, and seasons of waiting. In those moments, fear can creep in, whispering doubts and anxieties. Yet Psalm 112:7 reminds us that the righteous are unmoved by bad news, because their trust is deeply rooted in the Lord.
Trust is not wishful thinking; it is a firm foundation. It is believing, even when storms rage, that God remains in control. It is the quiet strength of knowing that His promises hold true. When we anchor our hearts in Him, fear loses its grip, and faith takes its place.
Like a tree planted by streams of water, trust in God keeps us steady. It doesn’t mean we won’t face difficulties, but it does mean we won’t face them alone. The steadfast heart is a heart at peace, knowing that no matter the news, God remains faithful.
