Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 91:14

He hath set his love upon me. We have a similar expression in daily use, which means the bending of all our energies to one end —a ceaseless effort after one object. We say, "I have set my heart on such a thing." This is what God will have from us —an intense, single hearted love. We must love him "with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our strength, and with all our mind, "so that, like Jesus, we may "delight to do his will." Just let us think of the way in which setting our heart on anything affects us, head, hands, time, thought, action —all are at work for us attainment. How we sacrifice everything else to it? Comfort, ease, present advantage, money, health, nay, our very selves, go freely for the sake of our cherished wish. Have I so "set my heart upon" God? Temperaments differ. This may be an overdrawn picture of the way in which some of us seek a cherished object. But each knows his own capability in this way. God also knows our frame, and requires his best at every man's hand. There is one thing in this verse which may encourage us very much. It is not because of perfect love that God will deliver. It is to the will to love and serve —it is to the setting the heart, that the promise is made —to the "full purpose of heart" that is set to cleave unto the Lord. Mary B. M. Duncan.
