"steadfast of mind"

The first challenge was this: Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary are based on the KJV, where the wording is different. This means that instead of "steadfast" I needed to look up "stayed" (as in: "whose mind is stayed on you"). Here is what I learned.....

stayed: lean upon; take hold of; rest upon; supported by....also translated sustained and established

mind: form; framing; purpose; framework

So, from the best I can figure, the idea is that we need our entire being to be taking hold of and resting upon God.

We cannot be steadfast sometimes or partly; it needs to be a full commitment for all times.
