It’s easy to become complacent. At least, I know it is for me. After more than 10 years of walking with Yah, I sometimes find myself getting a little too comfortable. Whenever I think I have it all together, Yah sends me a reminder that I don’t. And I’m grateful for that cause it prompts me to reach out and rely on Him. I need Him to unite my heart to fear His name.

Scripture says in Psalm 53 that there is none who does good.

“Elohim looked down from the heavens on the children of men, to see if there is a wise one, seeking Elohim. They have all turned aside; They have together become filthy; No one is doing good, not even one.’

Tehillim (Psalms) 53:2-3

Even Yahusha himself said, in Mark 10:18,

“Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim.”

So how can we ourselves ever come to the point where we feel we have arrived? Yes, Scripture calls us to be perfect, (Genesis 17:1; Matt 5:48), and I don’t believe Yah would ever instruct us to do something that couldn’t be done – by His strength. I do believe we can become perfect, or complete in Yahusha (Colosians 2:9,10), but we have to be careful not to ever think that we already know it all. It’s in those moments where we can sometimes become prideful, rely on our own strength, and fall. If our actions, our words, or our thoughts show that we are becoming puffed up, or even just double minded, then we have to examine ourselves.

Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us about the true state of our hearts. It says,

“The heart is deceitful above all things , and desperately wicked: who can know it? ”

This is why I believe meditating on Yah’s Word is so important. We need His word to overwrite the sin that is naturally in our hearts.

Psalm 86:11 was the focus of my scripture meditation this week. It’s a prayer to Yah to unite our hearts to fear His name. In this day and age, it seems most have lost the fear of Yahuah, especially His name. So I put Psalm 86:11 together with excerpts from various scriptures in a meditative form for you below. The video footage is all from clips that I filmed on my nature walks this week. You’ll hear sounds of nature, and also me playing the soft acoustic guitar. I pray the message of this scripture meditation calls you higher. It certainly did for me. Let’s continue to seek His face, and worship Him!

‘Teach me thy way, O יהוה ; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. ‘

Psalm 86:11

Leave a comment below if Yah has been calling you higher. We can only reach those heights if our heart is united, not double minded, but singly focused on this walk of truth. Thank Yah for His mercy and forgiveness. Where would we be without Him?

Let us learn to fear the name, the character, and the reputation of Yahuah, so we can reflect the same to all those who have eyes and ears to see and hear it. May Yah bless you as you continue to meditate on His Word.
