6. Surely he shall not be moved for ever. God has rooted and established him so that neither men nor devils will sweep him from his place. His prosperity will be permanent, and not like that of the gambler and the cheat, whose gains are evanescent; his reputation will be bright and lustrous from year to year, for it is not a mere pretense; his home will be permanent, and he will not need to wander from place to place as a bird that wanders from her nest; and even his memory will be abiding, for a good person is not soon forgotten, and the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. They are of a most ancient family, and not mushrooms of an hour, and their grand old stock will be found flourishing when all the proud houses of the ungodly have faded into nothing. The righteous are worth remembering, their actions are of the kind which record themselves, and God himself takes charge of their memorials. None of us like being forgotten, yet the only way to avoid it is to be righteous before God.
