Proverbs is 28:1

“The wicked flee when no one pursues,
 but the righteous are bold as a lion.”

Sinful decisions. Poor decisions. Self-focus.

That creates within us:

Anxiousness.

Defensiveness, even without yet discovery or accusation.

Conviction.

Emotionally we “run”, even when not chased.

The opposite of peace.

Righteous decisions. Good decisions. Pure motives. Others-centered.

Doing what is right when it is not comfortable.

Doing what is right when it is hard, in spite of the hard.

That creates in us boldness. Like a lion.

A settled, courageous, heart.

A peaceful heart.

An anxiety-riddled, fleeing heart or a steady, peaceful, bold heart.

The latter is better. Way better.

“The lust for comfort, murders the passion of the soul, then walks grinning at the funeral.”

Khalil Gibran, Poet. “The Prophet”
