Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. Psalms 86:11
Every believer struggles with a divided heart on some level. Paul teaches us in Galatians that “the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do” (Gal 5:17)
But while we live with the presence of the flesh, we do not need to live with the mindset of the flesh. We find, in the request of Psalms 86, two requests, with two sanctifying results. One request seeks God’s truth. The other request seeks God’s power. We must know both before we can be truly changed.
“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
