Psalm 57

7My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Andrew's
Notes
The Hebrew word "KUWN," which was translated "fixed" here, was translated "prepared" in (2 Chronicles 12:14). That verse says, "And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD" (brackets mine). David had fixed, or prepared, his heart in advance to praise the Lord. That's why he was not swayed by his men who encouraged him to kill Saul when Saul came into the cave (1 Samuel 24:4). We can predetermine our actions. We don't have to be moved by whatever temptation comes our way. We can fix our hearts in such a way that we can't depart from serving God. This is a process and must be done in advance. Paul was persuaded that the Lord would keep that which he had committed to Him (2 Timothy 1:12). But if there isn't any commitment, there isn't any keeping. We must choose, and we must do it in advance.
8Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

Andrew's
Notes
We have to awake or stir ourselves up to praise the Lord. It doesn't always just come naturally.
9I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Andrew's
Notes
David was not afraid to praise the Lord. He would do it in front of everyone (2 Samuel 6:21-22).

Psalm 56:8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Andrew's
Notes
This is saying that God notices every tear we shed. Whether this is literal or poetical, He keeps record of them all.

🔈 MYTH OR FACT?

There has be a debate as to whether weak abdominal muscles may lead to low back pain. Recently I've come across to contradictory opinions. I would like you to read them and express your point of view based on your experience.

🧐 OPINION 1

The muscles around your spine and in your abdomen contribute to lower back health. Loose or weak abdominal muscles can cause lower back pain by encouraging a forward-leaning posture. Abdominals work in conjunction with back muscles when bending, straightening or lifting. This is why weak, damaged or separate abdominal muscles can be associated with lower back pain.

But you can protect back muscles by strengthening your abdominals through exercise. The abdominals are relatively small, so there is less of a possibility of overtraining as with exercises that involve weights. Keep in mind, though, that you can strain abdominals by overdoing exercises.

🧐 OPINION 2

The idea that lower back pain comes from weak abdominal or stomach muscles is probably one of the longest running and most widely held back pain myths among patients and many therapists, yet the basis for it remains unproven. The myth itself is illogical. It may have started from a notion that by increasing the strength of your stomach muscles, you can increase pressure in the abdomen and thereby increase support for the spine. Sorry, but you cannot. Your stomach muscles function to support the contents of your abdomen, not your back. The good news is that weak abdominal muscles have never had, and will never have, anything to do with lower back pain. Strong abs are no guarantee of a pain-free back, and weak abs are no predictor of a painful back.
