  find ~/.profile_sections -maxdepth 1 -type f
or if you want sylinks to be sourced as well:
  find ~/.profile_sections -maxdepth 1 ! -type d

Above will find all the files in a directory.


Here's your script:
---->8----
dir=~/.profile_sections
if test -O $dir; then
  for file in $(find $dir -maxdepth 1 -type f); do
     source $file;
  done
fi
----8<----


(Note that if any file you want to source have a space in it's name the
above script wont be able to source it.)
