STEADFAST<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
\nMy heart is steadfast, O God, my\u00a0heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.<\/em> Psalm 57:7<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A Steadfast Heart is fixed in its direction. It is firm and faithful in its faith.
\nIt can sing and give praise in any situation because it is constant in its belief.<\/p>\n

Since the New Year is just a couple days away, here are some good resolutions for every season of life.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “My heart is constant in its love for You, O God.”<\/li>\n
  2. “My mind is firmly set on You, O God.”<\/li>\n
  3. “I have fixed my thoughts on You daily, O God.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today\u2019s Action:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Today I will have a Firm Hope in the Lord.<\/u><\/li>\n
    • This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,<\/em> Hebrews 6:19<\/li>\n
    • Today I will have a Fixed Trust in the Lord. <\/u><\/li>\n
    • He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD<\/em>. Psalm 112:7<\/li>\n
    • Today I will be a Faithful Servant to the Lord. <\/u><\/li>\n
    • God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.<\/em> Psalm 108:1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord”<\/em> \u00a01 Corinthians 15:58<\/p>\n
