Steadfast
This is a word that I don’t use regularly. I think I understand it’s meaning. It carries with it “resolutely or dutifully firm and unwavering”. This is how I want to be in my pursuit of God’s Heart. I want to be consistent in my pursuit. I want to be steady in my pursuit. I love how King David verbalizes being steadfast. Check this out….
1 My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul. 2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 3 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. 4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. (Psalm 108:1-5 NIV)
The Lord has a steadfast love for me. His love is beyond measure or description. When I think of how high the sky is and use that to describe His love, I still can’t get my head around the size of His love. It is simply beyond my minds comprehension.
I will keep steady and consistent (steadfast) in my hearts pursuit of God’s heart. I want to understand His heart and allow Him to shape my heart to be like His. I believe my pursuit of steadfast heart begins in the Word of God.
