Have you ever been in conflict with yourself?  Unable to make a decision?  Unable to choose?  I am sure most of us have at one time or the other.  Each day we make choices.  It may be the choice and color of a vehicle, the house we built, the school we attend etc.  Life comes with many choices and not all of them are of equal consequence.  However, when it comes to our choices of a spiritual nature, these are serious.

While researching this article I came across numerous passages about a divided heart.  God does not want our hearts to be divided; He wants us totally committed to Him.  A divided heart is not a peaceful heart.  Peace is only found in a total commitment to Him.

“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.  And I will be found of you, saith the Lord:  and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.”      Jeremiah 29:13-14

“I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me.”   Proverbs 8:17

“With my whole heart have I sought Thee:  O let me not wander from Thy commandments.”
Psalms 119:10

“Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart.”    Psalms 119:2

When our hearts are divided, there is no peace.  Peace can only be found in Him.  A heart that wavers is unstable.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”     James 1:8

“Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.”
Proverbs 25:19

“And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?  if the Lord be God, follow Him:  but if Baal, then follow him.  And the people answered him not a word.”
I Kings 18:21

“He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.”  Matthew 12:30

“And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.”       Mark 3:25-26

“No man can serve two masters:  for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”     Matthew 6:24

“I know thy works, that thou art neither old nor hot:  I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot.  I will spew thee out of My mouth.”   Revelation 3:15

“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.”    ~ Edwards
