Unite My Heart.

Ps 86:11, Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

What is this verse talking about?

Its a prayer that the Lord would teach us His way. In Hebrew when David says His 'way' (deh'-rek in Hebrew) he means God's road or His course of life for us.

We know God's faithful to anwser our prayers but we also knows it a process to learn the ways of Yah. David proclaims in the next part of the verse that as God reveals to him deh'-rek that David would walk in truth. The word truth in Hebrew is eh'-meth meaning stability, certainty, truth, trustworthiness, establishment.

David is saying that if You, God, will teach me Your way then I will live a life that is leaning on Your stability and not my own.

Calling truth what You call truth. Loving what You define as righteousness and not what emotions or the world around me defines as righteousness.

Daivd ends the verse with a prayer. That God would unite His heart to fear His name. One verson says it this way, "Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name."

Here David is saying, 'All the places in my heart that doesn't desire to fear You unite it with the rest and teach it Your ways.'

Abba, Teach us Your ways so we can walk in the realness of TRUTH. Bring unity to our hearts so we can fear You in fulliness!
