(Psalm 10:6) [The wicked person] says in his heart, “I shall not be moved...”

David quotes two others who say that: people who are circumstantially secure and prosperous (Psalm 30:6) and people who humbly lean completely on God during peaceful times as well as disastrous threats (Psalm 16:8). “Moved” refers to being shaken or pushed off course. The wicked assumes God doesn’t exist, doesn’t remember, doesn’t care, or doesn’t hold people accountable (10:4,11,13). Those who trust any security but God ignore unwelcome facts and go on cheerily as though they’d annihilated them.

Although I have very little power to avoid or withstand the major hardships, I don’t want to be fooled by being able to avoid or endure the lesser challenges. I want to learn what it means to “do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with my God” (Micah 6:8). I want to stay on God's course.

Lord, I know You are faithful, trustworthy, and good. I know You allow unsettling experiences so I can be purified and improved (Jeremiah 48:11). I know I don’t always like that; however, I choose to trust You over my fears and doubts. You have proven to be faithful—why should I foolishly stop trusting You now?
