Psalm 51v10,11
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me
I looked up the word STEADFAST in the dictionary (online dicky la of course!), and this was what came up:
Steadfast: 1) immovable (firmly fixed in place)
2) loyal (a firm belief, determination, adherence)
It draws a picture of stability. A spirit that is not easily swayed. A renewed determination, a spirit that will stand firm in what it believes in.
Firm. Determined. Loyal. Devoted. Immovable.
Yes, when everything is swaying, all I want is a steadfast spirit. A steadfast spirit, renewed, in loving Him and living in His will.
