Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am devoted to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all day long. Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my cry of supplication. In the day of my trouble I call on you, for you will answer me. There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. All the nations you have made shall come and bow down before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name. I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. (Psalm 86:1-13, NRSV)
Give me an undivided heart that I may follow you and devout myself to you…
How easy is it to have an undivided heart?
How many times are we pulled in many different directions?
But what is your focus in these times?
That is what this psalmist is asking God to give them, and undivided heart, so when I wander, I don’t have to wonder where my trust should be or who has my back…
God will preserve you and set your heart on fire if you will only set your heart in His hands! So trust in and rely on His love!
