“My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!” (Psalm 108:1 NLT).
David declared the confidence of his heart towards God. In other words, David had set and established his heart on God. He had fixed his focus on God alone. Having made God the object of his heart’s desire and confidence, he declared his intent to sing and give praise to God. He set his heart on praising God before all peoples and all nations.
The Lord was looking for one with a steadfast heart for God, when He sent the prophet Samuel to anoint David as Israel’s future king. God said of David, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will (Acts 13:22).
When the Lord looks at you, does He see a heart for God? Does He see a steadfast heart that desires to fulfill God’s will?
PRAYER: Dear Father, examine our hearts and purify them for You. We want our hearts to be confident in You. Wherever our hearts are entangled with idolatry or temptation, forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You deserve our wholehearted devotion. We set our hearts on You alone. We will sing and praise You among the nations. We are Yours, O Lord! Strengthen us now for the journey today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
