An Undivided Heart

eDevotion
Encouragement for your daily walk with God
Not too long ago I had my annual physical. After a few preliminaries, the first thing the doctor did was to check the condition of my heart. Certainly an important matter! I thought of my check up when I read something by the Chronicler. He reported that 50,000 soldiers from the tribe of Zebulun served in David's army with UNDIVIDED (some translations: "not double-hearted") hearts. [1st Chronicles 12:33] Can you imagine a skilled army with that level of loyalty and devotion?

There is immense power in an undivided heart. I’m sure one reason for this is the singleness of purpose when a heart is undivided. Couples with undivided hearts will preserve their marriages, no matter the difficulties, issues and problems they face. Intercessors with undivided hearts will ultimately break down strongholds. Missionaries with undivided hearts will reach a nation. An undivided heart caused a woman in the New Testament to pour out ointment worth a year's salary on her Savior's head, wash His feet with her tears, and dry them with her hair. An undivided heart is one of the most powerful things on earth.

Today is the day for a “heart check-up.” Is your heart inspired by the supremacy of Christ? If not, make it a point to know Him better. Dig a little deeper in the Word to understand His great love for you. Talk with Him a little more today. He inspires and empowers undivided hearts!

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24
