"My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise." Psalm 57:7

It's Sunday. The previous 2 days of chemotherapy left Malcom very, very weak so we were not able to attend church today. Instead we contented ourselves with finding a church service to watch on television, reading the Bible, and listening to uplifting CDs. Like the Psalmist, I am determined to keep my focus on the Lord. Psalm 112:7 says of the righteous man, "He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." The idea of fixing my heart on something conjures up images of purposeful decison, a conscious determination. That's one reason I write this blog. It gives me a tangible way to fix my thoughts on God, to search His Word for encouragement, comfort, and guidance. Faith is a choice and the object of my faith is trustworthy.

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise, just to know "Thus saith the Lord."
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him, how I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!
