Psalms 112:6

Psalms 112:6

Verse 6 proclaims, “Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.” The imagery of stability—being unmoved—contrasts with the uncertain fluctuations of life. The righteous are said to endure in the memory of others, indicating that a life lived in fidelity to God leaves an enduring mark. This is less about personal fame and more about enduring influence rooted in character and faithfulness.

Eternal remembrance emphasizes the lasting value of righteousness, not as self-glorification but as divine acknowledgment. It points to God’s covenant faithfulness: those who walk in God’s ways are not erased by time; their lives become a testimony that outlives their era. It also invites humility: the enduring legacy comes from God’s grace working through a person.

Consider your life as a legacy project. How will you be remembered by those who know you? Focus on steadiness in character, faithfulness in small tasks, and compassion toward others. Build habits that persist: daily devotion, consistent integrity at work, and generous service to neighbors. When facing trials, cling to God’s faithfulness, knowing that how you respond now contributes to a lasting witness. Intentionally mentor others, invest in relationships, and leave behind markers of faith rather than mere achievements.
