A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 9

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 9
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High (Psalm 9:1-2).
 
While most people observe you from the outside, God is observing your heart.
 
Here are a few things He is looking at:

• Is your heart fixed.
• Is your heart grateful.
• Is your heart unmixed.
• Is your heart fully trusting.

 
God’s will for us is to be wholehearted in our response to Him. That doesn’t mean things have to be done flawlessly—it means we are enthusiastic in our response instead of droopy, disinterested, or disappointed. Wholehearted obedience will never carry a “poor me” state of mind.
 
Insight: When you sing unto the Lord from your heart, He is not concerned if you are off key.
 
Insight: When the Lord has your whole heart He will also have your attention, interest, and commitment.
 
Insight: Joy doesn’t walk hand-in-hand with half-heartedness.
