'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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
