Psalms 21:7 (ESV Strong's)
For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
What Moves You?
It does not take much to move most people. Most people are moved emotionally or spiritually through the least bit of adversity. There are some, however, who claim they can’t be moved. They are so sure of themselves and so confident in the ability, power, positions and possessions, that they feel unshakable.
God states that the wicked have this mindset in Psalms 10:6
“He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
God will later, in that Psalms, show the wicked that they will be moved.
But, it is really only the right who can say with confidence they can’t be shaken:
The Righteous says in Psalms 16:8
“I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.”
Imagine a life where you have the ability to NOT BE SHAKEN. That is what it is like to have a faith and belief in the prefect love of God. Note again our verse:
Psalms 21:7 (ESV Strong's)
For the king trusts in the Lord,
and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.
Because of the trust in the Lord ... in His steadfast love ... the king will NOT be moved. This does not mean the king won’t have hardships. This Psalm was written by King David and he had plenty of hardships. He also committed adultery and was the head of a conspiracy for murder. Yet, he believe in God’s steadfast love over everything else. This belief gave him confidence and he was NOT moved or shaken. The passage from Psalms 16 comes on the heals of the writer say, “I have set the Lord, always before me ...”. That is why the writer (again, David) is not “shaken.” In Psalms 23 we read that David is not afraid of the “shadow of death.” Why? Because the Lord is his shepherd. We should see the pattern. When we put our trust for security in God’s steadfast (that means unmovable and unshakable) love, we have nothing in this world that can move us or shake us. We are only moved and shaken by the things in this world when we have our sights and heart set on those things. But, God’s unmovable love is always present. We are not moved, shaken, spun or stumbled when we have God’s Love in our sights of faith. Even IF something bad happens to us we know it is out of His purest of love and He will guide and empower us through it. We are unshaken because of the steadfast love of the Lord!!!
