“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice… For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry” (1 Samuel 15:22,23). “I hate vain thoughts (Heb. סֵעֵף ce`eph, DIVIDED in mind): but Thy law do I love. Thou art my Hiding Place and my Shield: I hope in Thy Word. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God” (Psalm 119:113-115). “My son, give Me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe My ways” (Proverbs 23:26). “We have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16).
It’s
time to make a clear decision;
Indeed,
it’s high time to begin
Departing
from my mind’s division
Inclined
to compromise with sin.
God
sees this awful tendency
And
calls it like it is today:
Like
witchcraft and idolatry
Is
sin departing from His way.
No
wonder I am called to hate
The
evil that invades my heart
And
rather love God’s Word so great
That
I may thus from sin depart!
How
wondrous is the invitation
To
give my heart to God alone
In
undivided consecration
As
He thus makes His glory known!
I
see the beauty of my Lord,
Unveiled
in the mind of Christ!
The
ways of God are thus explored
As
I behold Him sacrificed.
Lord,
draw me nearer to Your cross
To
see Your ways of truth and grace
Whereby
You purged my sins as dross
And
You became my Hiding Place.
I’ve
come, O Lord, to this conclusion
As
I explore Your love I find:
A
heart divided is CONFUSION;
O
may I not be so inclined!
O
Lord, You are my soul’s Defender!
Create
in me a heart united
To
worship You in full surrender,
Departing
from a heart divided.
