God Quote-David, Man After God’s Own Heart

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Acts 13:22.

 God 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.”

We know that David was not a perfect man. He had his share of flaws. But he was a person of integrity. David loved God. It was his tendency to seek God in earnest prayer and to praise Him for His goodness. He used his experience as a shepherd to lead a nation. We can gain much insight into David’s relationship with God by reading the Psalms.

As king of Israel, Psalm 78:72 says that David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.

God’s evaluation of David’s life is a reminder that He also accurately evaluates our lives, and He will honor those who honor Him from the heart.

Acts 13:22-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
