In his commentary on Hosea 10:1-2 H.I. Ironside states,
“A single heart for God’s glory is the primce necessity for a holy life. This they [Israel] neglected. Therefore they had to eat of the fruit of their own devices. To walk with God with a divided heart is utterly impossible. He is not asking for the first place in the heart, either-as people often put it. He is far too exclusive for that. His word is, “My son, give Me thine heart.”-the whole heart, with no reservation whatsoever. Only when this is done will the walk and ways be in accordance with His mind.”
