"For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved." — Psalm 21:7

Don't we all long for stability in our lives and consistency in our commitments? We find something appealing and comforting in the chant-like pulse of the old spiritual: "I shall not be, I shall not be moved. I shall not be, I shall not be moved. Just like a tree that's planted by the water, I shall not be moved." The world around us is constantly changing. We're conscious of our own tendency to drift and wander. We want roots; we want an anchor.
