September 13 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. (Psalm 57:7) Today's Thought David's prayers in the Psalms reveal so much about life . . . about what the Lord desires from us! This is just another revelation of God's desire for His people . . . He desires for their hearts to be fixed. Steadfast, immoveable, and stayed on God. Always in a position of prayer and praise, always ready to humbly submit to His will, always listening to His voice . . . Fixed! Perhaps David wasn't making so much a declaration that his heart was fixed, but just maybe he was telling his heart to remain fixed in the face of temptation or weakness. This would be not unlike all of us! We make choice after choice to obey or disregard the commands of the Lord; if our hearts are fixed there is no question, but obedience comes naturally to the submitted will of man. God couldn't have found a better man to make this statement than David. David sinned greatly against God. He had every reason to run and not deal with his sin. But instead of covering it over, he boldly proclaimed his determination to serve the Lord regardless of the personal cost to him. Is your heart fixed . . . fixed for duty? Can you say in the face of adversity that your heart's gaze is set on your Strong Tower? Is your heart in position to praise and worship Him? Our hearts must be fixed on Him, the main thing in all acts of devotion . . . David checks out his own heart before entering into worship! Check your heart today . . . if it's not fixed, pray and ask the Lord to show you the weak points. He'll never fail to meet a request like this! Today's Prayer Father, thank you for your heart as seen through the Psalmist David! Examine my heart, O Lord, and see if there is any disobedience in it. Help me to remain steadfastly fixed on you in ever situation, in all circumstances. Lord, I love You above all else . . . may my heart remain fixed. Amen! Have a blessed day!
