A Heart That Will Not Be Shaken (Day 318)

A steadfast heart is not a heart that never experiences concern. It is a heart that continues returning to God's truth rather than allowing fear to govern every decision

A Heart That Will Not Be Shaken

by Torrie Slaughter

Scripture Focus: Psalm 112:6–8

"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD." — Psalm 112:7 (KJV)

Psalm 112 describes the character and stability of the person who fears the Lord and delights in His commandments.

One of the most striking descriptions is a steadfast heart.

The psalm does not teach that those who trust God will never encounter troubling news or difficult circumstances.

Instead, it describes confidence rooted in the Lord.

This is an important distinction.

A steadfast heart is not a heart that never experiences concern. It is a heart that continues returning to God's truth rather than allowing fear to govern every decision.

As we enter the weekend, remember that resting in Jehovah Sabaoth does not require you to solve every problem before you can experience peace.

Reflection Question: What troubling thought or circumstance has been receiving more attention than God's faithfulness?

Prayer: Jehovah Sabaoth, establish my heart in Your truth. When circumstances change, help me remain rooted in Your character. Teach me to rest without neglecting my responsibilities and to trust without demanding immediate answers. In Jesus' name, amen.

Today's Micro Surrender: Set aside a few minutes of uninterrupted quiet. Release one concern to God and resist the urge to immediately return to worrying about it.
