“My heart is steadfast, O God, I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.”
(Psalm 108:1, NASB)
“David begins this psalm by reminding us of the importance of a steadfast or “fixed” heart in the Christian life.
What is a fixed heart? First, it trusts in the Lord for salvation …
A fixed heart is also devoted … So a fixed heart is devoted and loving – a heart that is devoted solely to the Lord …
A fixed heart is serving … A person fixed upon the Lord in faith and love reaches out to serve others – to put others ahead of himself.
Finally, a fixed heart is hopeful … We wait and hope for the day when we will be in the Lord’s presence.
The condition of a person’s heart reveals much about the condition of his soul. A fixed heart is in time with the Lord – trusting, devoted, serving, and hopeful.
