"An Undivided Heart"

 

“An Undivided Heart”

   

Teach me Your Way, LORD, that I may rely on Your Faithfulness; give me an UNDIVIDED heart, that I may fear Your Name.    Psalm 86:11

 

This verse of Scripture is a portion from one of David’s prayers to the ALMIGHTY GOD.  And I think we, who are TRUE CHILDREN of the LIVING GOD, can gain insight, as how to CONNECT with God, that would HONOR Him and be from an UNDIVIDED HEART.

 

First, David implores God to TEACH him, His Ways, so that David would be ABLE to KNOW God better, and to have the ASSURANCE of GOD’S FAITHFULNESS unto him.  So that he might FOLLOW God’s DIRECTIONS and become MORE OBEDIENT to God’s LAWS and His WAYS.  And that he, David, would put his WHOLE TRUST in his CREATOR, GOD. 

 

Then David asked God for an UNDIVIDED HEART, that he might be TOTALLY SOLD OUT to his Master.  And with that UNDIVIDED HEART came an UNDIVIDED LOYALTY.  Then we see in verse 12 a VOW, David made to God, that he would PRAISE Him with a WHOLE HEART, UNDIVIDED and LOYAL to the end.  David’s desire was to GLORIFY GOD, and to REVERENCE His Name.

 

If you are a TRUE CHILD of the LIVING GOD, have you asked Him to TEACH you HIS WAYS, with an UNDIVIDED HEART, so that you might be OBEDIENT in FOLLOWING GOD’S LAWS and His WAYS?  And do you have COMPLETE TRUST in Him as your SAVIOR and LORD?  Are you WILLING to have an UNDIVIDED HEART and an UNDIVIDED LOYALTY to Him?  You can if you will only ASK.

 

However, if you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are NOT His TRUE CHILD, and you are putting your DESTINY at a HUGE RISK.  Your DESTINY, NOW, is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  In order to CHANGE that, you MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of a SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, God’s ONLY SON, who gave His OWN life to SAVE yours from an ETERNITY in HELL.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that HE is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, with an UNDIVIDED HEART and an UNDIVIDED LOYALTY.  And PRAISE Him for HIS UNFAILING LOVE, ABUNDANT MERCY and AMAZING GRACE.  And spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
