Solid Surety
“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.”Psalms 16:9 NKJV Testimonies that are based on worldly achievements, material possessions, and pleasant opportunities are sweet but short lived. In night seasons of life, hearts that are filled with these seasonal testimonies struggle with mood swings and disappointment. But having found a solid surety in God, the Psalmist’s heart experienced a continuous gladness and a sustained expression of joy. Even in a state of abject poverty, physical weakness, and material deprivation, the heart whose trust is absolutely in God does rest in hope. Sincerely, it is always good that the heart is regularly subjected to the divine integrity test, where the basis of its joy and happiness can be ascertained. If the heart of man can truly rejoice in the gory situation of life, there will be no doubt that it has found a solid surety in God, and not just in sweet but shifting sands.
