Psalms Streak: A Daily Devotional in the PsalmsSample

Undivided Heart

Devotional David sounds like all of us in this Psalm! He is expressing emotions that we all feel and often struggle through. We live in a world full of distractions and difficult life choices. There are times when it seems so difficult to choose God's way, and we feel just like David does in verse one: poor and needy. His desire is to have an undivided heart. We are often pulled in so many different directions, and our lives can feel like a huge jigsaw puzzle. There are so many things, people, hobbies, and choices which try to take pieces of our hearts away from loving God first. We need Him to teach us His ways! We need to rely on His faithfulness. To put the heart-shaped jigsaw puzzle back together, we need God! We need His wisdom, strength, and guidance! When we find ourselves with a heart and mind that is only focused on Him, we find the greatest source of joy and peace in life.

GO DEEP: Ask God to show you any areas of your heart that aren’t fully His. What would it look like for you to submit that part of your heart or life to Him? What would you say the Lord has delivered you from?

BE BOLD: Who needs to hear this? Who could you share it with?
