A United Heart

Moses told the Israelites to fear God, obey and serve Him alone, listen to His voice and cling to Him (Deu 13:4). Many other things would compete for their respect, loyalty, affection and attention but they were to focus their energies on God alone. Any form of idolatry was to be identified and mercilessly expunged from the land (Deu 13:8). How is your heart? Do you have a single-minded devotion to the Lord? (2Co 11:3). Are you tolerating things that compete for your attention, affection and loyalty? Friendship with the world is enmity toward God (Jam 4:4). Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God (1Co 10:31). Teach me your way O Lord. Unite my heart to fear your name (Psa 86:11).
