He testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.‘” The following words describe the heart of David as seen in his own writings: (All verses New International Version) Humble – Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. Psalm 62:9 Reverent – I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.Psalm 18:3 Respectful – Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief.Psalm 31:9 Trusting – The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Loving – I love you, O Lord, my strength.Psalm 18:1 Devoted – You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. Psalm 4:7 Recognition – I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. Psalm 9:1 Faithful – Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6 Obedient – Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.Psalm 119:34 Repentant – For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.Psalm 25:11 David’s example is a great road map for how we are to live our life. Which of these areas need your greatest attention for improvement? http://www.biblestudytools.com/blogs/ron-edmondson/10-reasons-david-is-called-a-man-after-god-s-own-heart.html
