Strong Fortress
http://bible.us/psa31.14.nkjv But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Those who behold the reckless manipulation of ' smart ' people, through slander, back-bitting and all forms of evil speaking, are easily tempted to put their trust in self-manipulation. Instead of buying the distractions through outward display of recklessness, the Psalmist could see the inward fear of insecurity within the ' smart ' folks, camouflaged with all forms of unrighteous manipulations. When the scripture says that the Righteous are as bold as a lion, the boldness is based on their trust in a strong Fortress, outside self. Sincerely, trust in human ability and capabilities is hollow, requiring a stressful proof of strength through reckless manipulation. Whereas, absolute trust in the Lord as a strong Fortress brings an unperturbed peace of mind.
