'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 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good.

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
