Today’s readings were Psalms 6, 46, 86 and 126.

Psalm 86:11-13

“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.”

These verses really grabbed my heart this morning and they reminded me of another scripture in Jeremiah 24:7 which says:

“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.”

And this verse reminded me of a verse in Ezekiel 11:19 which says:

“I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.”

For quite a while, and I’ve shared this before, I’ve felt the Lord speaking to me about devotion and devoting myself to Him fully. As human beings we are a forgetful race. We too easily forget the good. We too easily get our lives over run by other things and forget about the most important person in our lives.

Every now and then I feel myself drifting and God continually pursues me and reins me back into Him. How amazing is He?! He is relentless in His pursuit of us.

I want to love God more deeply and to my core more than ever before.

I want an undivided heart, a heart completely for God.
