'My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise' (Psalm 57:7).

Through the perplexity of life one can be despondent, weary, disheartened and even give up on their dreams and aspirations because they can't seem to cope. But the Word of God gives us courage, strength, confidence and hope. It elevates you when you are feeling low and hopeless; it reminds you of the One who loves and created you; who died to save you and to give you hope of eternal life with Him. David was having a tough time, been hunted down by King Saul like an animal; He had to leave his home and family and on the run constantly. He was always praying and complaining to God, but after the event that took place with Saul in the cave; his complaint turned into praise. His heart was fixed; with confidence in God, he stood firm amidst all his troubles and was determined in giving God praise. We too can rejoice and give God praise amidst our sufferings and chaotic life. When God comes toward you with favour, you can meet him with your praise. It is a good habit to awake early in the morning and begin your day with God! Purpose in your heart to confide in God in every situation in life you may encounter and render praises to Him. In your trials; troubles and despondency, learn to trust God's justice; his goodness; his mercy and give Him praise. Let your heart be fixed and settled, that even in times when you don't feel like giving praise, you are prepared to celebrate God's goodness.
Let us in times of hardships and difficulties fixed our hearts with fix determination to have confidence that God will see us through. We can then say, like David, "My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give you praise."

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
