First there’s this:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

Psalm 10:6

And then there’s this:

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

Psalm 62:6

The most striking thing about the two texts, spaced fifty psalms apart, are how they both feature the exact same expression: “I shall not be moved.”

And yet, these two texts could not be further apart on the spectrum. The first psalm features the words of a prideful person, whose arrogance will be his undoing. “I shall not be moved he says,” with his ego bubbling.

In the other verse, however, the words are that of a person who relies on God for help. And because God is at his side, he says with confidence (not in himself but in God): “I shall not be moved.”

The difference between the two, is the difference between the confidence of Goliath and the confidence of David. One had God on his side, the other had only himself. One assumed he would not be moved because he as big and bad. The other knew better, because he knew God was the biggest there is.

 

Trust God and God will take care of you.
