Praise Him in the cave, and He can change things.

Psalm 57:7 “My heart is steadfast, O God my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes I will sing praises”

Disclaimer: I know y’all think I’m the verse map bully 😳😂, but I know it’s not for everyone. It’s just my Bible study fav 🤷🏼‍♀️

So I have been studying the word steadfast. It’s not exactly a touchy-feely subject, but the Lord worked through my starting point and by the time I finished my whole mood had changed. I did not sit down with that intention.

Won’t God do it!!

In doing the word study it lead me to Psalm 57:7. It spoke to me so much I verse mapped it. In the midst of the verse map I could feel God stepping on my toes. Questions came to mind about the devotions I had been doing. Aren’t they just a series of self help books? How long am I going to dwell on me and my insecurities 😳. Then Pastor came in hot the next week with “insecurities make us selfish”. Geez Louise.

Don’t get me wrong, we need to do studies, see the planks in our eyes and work on our shortcomings. We just can’t live there. At some point we have to get out of our head and get moving.

David was in a cave scared for his life. Sometimes we have those same situations. Right in the middle of his pity party he caught himself. He stopped and said

           “My heart is steadfast”

Mike drop 🎤!  That’s what I need to do when facing any giant or insecurity. Before letting my pity party run away with my brain I need to whoa up and declare to my heart that it Will. Be. Steadfast.

David’s pity party turned in to a praise fest after that declaration. (And so did mine)

           Moral of the story:

“Set your heart on Jesus, He is our help!”
