Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my
heart to fear thy name. (Psa 86:11)
Many chose not to fear God because we are not willing to
commit all of our affections. There are much scattered affections
that have been allowed to be festered and degenerated to lust. Lust has taken
dominion over and has become presumptuous sins. We need the cognition that this
state of the heart of is a miserable plague that can causes a road block that
prevents God’s working into us. It is hard to impart His mind and life into one
that is even partially resistant.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may
fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: (Jer
32:39)
No one can serve two masters, the division of the two
requires love one and hating the other (Matt 6:24). It is both self serving and slavishly yielding to our self- driven desires or we can be God serving. The unity of heart to fear
God is His work, don’t strive in self imposed religion of do’s and don’ts. Pray
and believe that He who is able to do exceedingly above what we can ask for to
perform it. Fearing God allays all other fears, including the pangs of death.
It is the confidence of our salvation and the experiential knowledge of perfecting us in His love. Ultimately it fulfills the first and greatest
commandment (Mark 12:30).
