A heart undivided

I don't know when I came across this Psalm. It may have been while preparing for worship service one Sunday a few months back. But whenever my first encounter was, it has left a deep and permanent mark on me. It's so simple. "Give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name". Isn't that--in the proverbial nutshell--a precise and penetrating description of what the world calls the human condition? We're always searching, seeking, looking for fulfillment and significance, and yet all the things in our hearts can't give us what we're searching for. Our hearts are pulled in so many directions because it is by nature divided. How beautiful to think though that IF our hearts were undivided, we'd be able to do the one thing that would and does give us ultimate pleasure and satisfaction and significance. We'd be able to fear/be in awe/revere/praise/worship the one and true living God.
