Right Living Produces Confidence

The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Insecure people don't feel good about themselves. They convey fear and timidity. The wicked also stumble and collapse under the weight of attack because their moral core cannot hold up against tribulation. They fall. They fail.

Righteousness produces an inner strength that no one can take away. If you are right with the Lord, who cares what people think or do against you. You have the creator of the universe, the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the lion of the tribe of Judah roaring on your behalf. He surrounds His righteous ones with favor. He surrounds you with favor.

The wicked will flee and worry through sleepless nights about plots and schemes against them. The righteous sleep well. They smile about the future. Though they may lose their lives, they ultimately go to a better place. The key is their relationship with God. Those that know their God will display strength (Daniel 11:32)!
