Last night to begin our Wednesday night services I opened the Bible to Psalm 86: 11-13 which says, "Teach me your ways, 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..." Unless we are taught the ways of Christ we won't know how to walk in truth. Jesus said to "abide in Him" and that's what it takes to have an undivided heart.
If I have a divided heart I am separated into parts or pieces, disunited by disagreement, pulled by conflicting interests or activities, separated by distance (Webster's II dictionary), sadly to say it, but that sounds like the description of some Christian people today. If I allow things of this world to separate me from God I have a divided heart. So many times we find ourselves with divided hearts by engaging in interests other than what God has planned. This sounds only too familiar to me! We must engage in Christ and His truth and that truth is that He gave His life so that we can have life and have it abundantly! We must seek for an undivided heart! We can't let the ways of the world and the schemes of the devil trip us up and trick us into being unfruitful. Let's praise God today with all our hearts and glorify God's name so that we will be united in His love and mercy!
Good word Preacher,our hearts should be one no matter where we are, or who we ars as long as we ars making Jesus no. 1 in our lives.Continue to preach the word with boldness and in the truth of his light and He will direct your path.Don't get discouraged or disheartened,the Lord see's your trials and He's working on your behalf.
