The Anchor of the Heart
Commentators agree that the fearlessness described is not a natural personality trait but a direct result of a heart "fixed" by trusting in God. Albert Barnes notes this isn't "native courage," but a calm assurance that a wise and good God is in control. This trust provides a firm foundation, or as Matthew Henry says, a "firm footing" that keeps the believer's spirit settled and undisturbed amidst life's storms.
