This page features Psalm 108:1.

Inspiration

to steady

our commitment to the Lord.

Our Featured Verse says:

My heart is FIXED -

on you,

Lord.

-

O God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

Verse 1 KJV

-

And another Bible verse echoes:

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:

I will sing and give praise.

Psalm 57:7 KJV

Many of our problems are caused

because

we have our heart  fixed on  something

other than God.

We are wise when we

daily

and intentionally

put God on the throne of our life.

In order to please God and live the best kind of life,

we must surrender our days

to our Lord - Jesus Christ.

If God is "sometimes" on the throne of our heart,

then we are a double-minded man or woman.

James 1:8 tells us

that a double-minded man is unstable.

Unstable:

Perhaps you have seen people

who focus on God

on Sunday

but during the week, their mind is fixed

on other things.

Stable:

A fixed heart is a stable heart.

That person habitually communes
with God
throughout the day.

Pray without Ceasing

The Bible says:

Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks:

for

this is the will of God in Christ Jesus

concerning

you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV

Pray without ceasing

means:

we work toward

becoming

continually aware

of the

presence of God

and

we talk with him

throughout the day -

just as if

he was a real person

who

was with us throughout the day.

That is also

called

abiding in him.

To elaborate:

This means

being aware of God in each moment

and

 - including him and welcoming him -

in all our moments.

Also...

Leaning on him throughout the day

and

Seeking his wisdom throughout the day.

Wisdom

In order to walk closely with Jesus, 

we need 

to purify our heart from 

all

things

that 

pull us away from God.

The closer you walk

with God, 

the less room

for anything to come between.

Unknown author

O God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing

and give praise,

even with my glory.
