Psalm 86

Teach me your way, LORD,
and I will live by your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear
your name.

This is the challenge of life – and the great gift of God. An undivided mind, focused, centered, held solely on Him and revering only His name.

Lord, grant me this same gift. A mind, a life, a desire, a heart only sold out, only focused, undivided trusting you.

Knowing you.

You are compassionate, kind, forgiving.

There is none like you.

The Psalmist declared all this and what a glorious reminder it is to me.

Lord, give me that undivided mind. Not torn apart by desire or deceit, but completely resting in you.

“Protect my life,” – the Psalm says. I repeat.

I’m yours Lord.

Be mine.

Thinking about Psalm 90, I considered this image of Sarah and Bree playing on the beach – making the most of each day.
