Lessons from a Cave—Singing

​


My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn.  Psalm 57:7-8

​

How do we fight fear?  How do we fight depression and despair?
David shares his coping techniques beginning in verse seven. 
It begins with a steadfast heart. The Hebrew word used is not simply a statement of what he has. It also indicates a conscious action to prepare and firmly establish an unmovable position.  David then goes on to tell us how he makes his heart steadfast.

• By singing
• Playing an instrument.
• Getting up early
• Praising God.

We should do the same.
