Being fixed on God means that I have a made up mind to trust and obey God. I seek to please him daily. "Lord, please be pleased with my actions, my thoughts, and my intentions. Help me to obey when I hear your voice. Let me crucify my flesh daily. Help me love my enemies. Let me not seek treasures and self-glory above your will for my life. These things I pray in Jesus name. Amen."
Being fixed means having a focus that is intense and unwavering. It does not matter what others do, including friends. A person who is fixed on God will be dedicated beyond the haphazard, inconsistent effort of others. If you are "fixed" on God, the temptations of this world will not appeal as much. The devil's tricks and lies will be exposed early and often. 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to
5. Cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
It pays having a "fixed" mind. We have the confidence that others lack, knowing that obedience to God will give us the desire of our heart. To hear Father God speak of us saying, "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased."
