It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm,trusting in the LORD.His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries. He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor. The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!
Isn't this a fascinating passage? Trusting in the LORD is the fulcrum of my faith. It is the pivot that enables me to live in a manner that glorifies Him, that brings Him honor. Bad news must not sway me from the course that He has laid out before me.
