7My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. –Psalm 57

1. The Hebrews word for “steadfast” also translates to “determined, ready, certain, prepared, established.”
2. Does that describe your heart regarding the things that matter most to God? These are the clear teachings of the Bible.
3. We live in a time period where other issues are divisive points for us. These are for many people political or social matters. And for some people, these are all that seem to matter.
4. A steadfast heart is united concerning the things that matter most. Please reread point number two above.
5. The steadfast heart finds reasons to praise God, even though life is difficult.
6. David was singing this psalm when he fled from the evil King Saul into a cave. His life was on the line. What mattered most to him was honoring God and not killing Saul even when he had the chance.
7. Difficult moments and seasons in life provide opportunities to be steadfast about the right things and to sing praise to God.–JMB
