Psalm 86:11

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

- Psalm 86:11

Hebrew for unite - yachad - to join

for heart - lebab - the inner parts, the inner man, soul

In my Bible, at the top of this Psalm it says a Psalm of supplication and trust. So not only is David asking in this Psalm but he is definitly trusting that the words he is praying are being heard. What amazes me even more is the honesty that David shows here. He has a very raw heart. He asks God to teach Him, and not for the desire of teaching others, not for the desire of gaining more knowledge, but as it says in this verse, so that He would walk in the the truth. But it doesn't stop there. David knew that just asking God to teach Him wasn't going to be enough. That's the case for most of us, it's not just about us being taught, it's not just about us gaining knowledge and reading to know more, but David explains it best in the last part of this verse, it's about our hearts, our inner most parts, our souls uniting with our Savior's to fear His name.

Take your time with the Lord, not just to read or to learn or to speak, but take your time with the Lord as David did, to unite- to join, your inner most parts, your inner man, your soul, your everything with the One who matters the most; God.
