We are going to take a look at Psalm 57:7 this Sunday. Though just one verse, it provides great insight into the constant battle in the Christians life between faith and feelings.
"My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise." - Psalm 57:7
So what is this verse trying to say. Well, just as in any passage from God's Word, you have to look at the context. The author of this Psalm was telling God about how his life was in danger and even though this was the case, He would choose to trust God. Did you notice the word choice. I said choose. That is what Psalm 57:7 is talking about. Just as David did, we need to choose to fix our heart to not listen to lies that Satan tries to get us to listen to but rather to trust God. One thing that helps us to do this and strengthens our faith is when we praise and even sing to the Lord about how He is faithful and true. I struggle in this area alot and I wish I could say I am always victorious. But a true victorious life is when we get back up and keep trying in the power of God. So do not listen to your feelings. Choose to trust God.
