To Be Like David

Scripture: Acts 13: [22] After removing Saul, he made David their king. 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.’

Observation: After reading this I first became jealous of David, a man after God’s heart. However that is what we are all called to be people after God’s own heart. God is our master and we are to do anything He asks of us without questioning Him.

Application: Being like David should not be an option, but an example of the people God calls us to be. We are called His servants, slaves, children and friends we need to start acting like it. I’m put on this earth for a purpose and that is to serve my God and to bring others into His loving grace. So like David I need to have a heart to serve and please the one who created me.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive this servant for not being like David. Help me be that man that is after Your heart. Give me the strength and courage to fulfill the purpose you have created me for and that I will glorify you.
