Honest people. Also known in other Bible versions as "righteous" people. They are marked by a relaxed, confident manner, as opposed to wicked people who are ready to run off at even the slightest provocation.
See, in today's verse I see something I desire. I desire to be the type of person who walks around as bold as a lion. We've already had the discussion about lions in Daniel, so remind yourself what a lion is and how majestic they are. Now remember that's who you can be - if you want to. If you live with God, if you trust in His promises, YOU can be a lion! Relaxed and confident in who God is and how much He loves you, you can stand up to any and everything.
And that's exactly what God calls us to do.
Even when we fail sometimes, even when other people or other things tell us otherwise, we can choose to walk around with confidence and faith in a God who can take us beyond our best. It really comes down to whether or not you believe what God says about you. And oh the things He says! Oh how good He is!
Go through the Psalms - how about starting with Psalm 23, or Psalm 145? Find your own favorites. Read them. Believe them. Talk to God about them. Ask Him to help you, and start walking around in the confidence of His love. It's the most powerful thing you've ever seen.
