Steadfastness
Psalm 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.


That steadfastness will come to us by the actual communication of strength, and it will come to us because in the consciousness of the Divine presence there lies a charm that takes the glamour out of temptation and the pain out of all wounds. He being with us, the dazzling, treacherous brilliancies of earth cease to dazzle and betray. He being with us, sorrow itself and pain and all the ills that flesh is heir to have little power to shake the soul.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
