Psalm 112:6, “For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.”
Psalm 112 paints a beautiful picture of the life blessed by God—the life marked by fear of God and delight for His word, and the accompanying fruit of righteousness, compassion, and faithfulness. Verse 6 tells us that the righteous will never be moved and that they will be remembered forever. But what does this mean?
To be “never moved” doesn’t mean the righteous never face challenges or hardships. Rather, it means they have a deep, unshakable foundation—a faith that holds firm through every storm. And to be “remembered forever” speaks of a lasting legacy, not necessarily in the earthly realm, but for eternity and in the hearts of those whose lives they touch.
A powerful example from Scripture is the life of Daniel. Taken captive and exiled to Babylon, Daniel found himself in a culture that was hostile to his faith. Yet, he remained steadfast—praying to God despite the king’s decree, refusing to compromise his beliefs, and trusting God completely.
When Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den for his faithfulness, he was not moved by fear or despair. His trust was in God’s power and promises. And God delivered him! Because of Daniel’s unwavering righteousness, he is remembered throughout history as a man who honored God above all else. Daniel’s life is a vivid illustration of Psalm 112:6. He was steady in faith and left a legacy that endures to this day.
In our own lives, it can be easy to feel shaken by uncertainty, fear, or failure. But Psalm 112 encourages us to root ourselves in God’s truth. Like Daniel, we may face “lions” of doubt, pressure, or hardship, but God equips through His word that we might remain steadfast and immovable.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”—1 Corinthians 15:58
Application Questions: What is anchoring you when life gets hard? How can you cultivate a faith that cannot be moved? What legacy are you building—not just for now, but for eternity?
