Divided heart

A divided heart leads to ruin. Fragmented loyalties weaken resolve. 

Consider Solomon. Wise beyond his years. Or anyone else’s.

The divine instructions are detailed. Laid out so clearly. In two recorded encounters with his Maker. (1 Kings 3 and 9)

But he fools around. 
Taking careless, measured steps. 
Away from wholehearted devotion. 

Undivided heart. Psalm 86:11.

Fear and fear not

My friend hesitates. Uncomfortable when I speak of “the fear of the Lord.” And pray it for our children. 

Through the years, from their youngest days, this has been my prayer. That they may walk in the fear of the Lord. Know His wisdom. Recognize His holiness. 

But there are too many things to fear in our world today. We don’t need to make God one more thing to fear. Right? I think that’s the unspoken piece of this friend’s response.

But Jesus talks about fear. The wrong kind and the right kind.
