Psalm 108:1-3. “O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.”
MY HEART IS FIXED. There are pressures to conform to all that’s going on around – But my heart is fixed to praise Thee, with a joyful sound. The clouds of darkness gathering seem lower overhead – But my heart is fixed, O God, on Him who conquered death.
The glory men seem to think is theirs is in ascendency – But my heart is fixed in heaven, and all glory belongs to Thee. The claims men make of wisdom, strange things they seem to find – But my heart is fixed on Thee, O Lord, true wisdom is only Thine.
Men plan to gain horizons that lie beyond our sight – But my heart is fixed on Thee, the One who turns darkness into light. Things mankind makes seem great and to many so profound – But my heart is fixed on God’s creation that through the universe resounds.
Humanity in pride has trouble wherever we can turn – But my heart is fixed on God, who the humble does not spurn. Man’s help in time of need is very limited – But my heart is fixed on God, in the universe exalted.
O God, may my mind be ever, and only stayed on Thee – My heart is always fixed on the things of eternity. May this life and all its lessons draw me closer to my Lord – And my heart be forever fixed to bring glory to my God.
“Here I am, Father God, seeking to stay steadfast in the current of Thy will. My heart is fixed to always keep before me the things that are eternal – those things that bear the stamp of God on them rather than the guarantees men make that will always ultimately fail. Help me not deviate from the course of Thy choosing, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
