Good Morning Friends,
“Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk
in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my
heart; I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths
of the grave.” (Psalm 86:11-13)
An undivided heart is one that does not waver
in its focus on and commitment to God.
That was David’s prayer, and it certainly matched God’s desire for him.
The enticement away from an undivided heart
was strong in David’s life, even as it is in ours, too. David struggled with selfishness just like we
do. When his heart was focused on his
own needs and desires, it was not fully focused on God.
Paul described the journey toward an
undivided heart in this way, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer
live, but Christ lives in me. The life I
live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
Paul describes a radical process, putting to
death my own needs, desires, and will in order to be fully devoted to God.
That was David’s prayer. It should be our prayer, too.
His, by Grace,
Steve
