Devotional 137 - Season 8 - Key to the Abundant Life. (no not that one.)
Back in the. Paddock, we consider my Biblical mentor, David. We know the first two indicators of people we will like are 1. Are they like us? The second is, do we admire them and want to be like them?
Hence, David, how do you become a “man after God’s own heart?” How did David become that believer after God’s own heart?
He listened to God.
Now these are the last words of David.
“David, the son of Jesse, declares, And the man who was raised on high declares, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel, 2 “The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.”
2 Samuel 23:1-2
He says his life.
“Is as the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, When the tender grass springs out of the earth, Through sunshine after rain. 5 “Truly is not my house so with God? For He has made an everlasting covenant with me, Ordered in all things, and secured; For all my salvation and all my desire, Will He not indeed make it grow?” 2 Samuel 23:4-5
He talked to God:
“Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my groaning. 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to Thee do I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, Thou wilt hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to Thee and eagerly watch.” Psalm 5:1-3
“As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me. 17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice. 18 He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me.” Psalm 55:16-17
“Seven times a day I praise Thee, Because of Thy righteous ordinances. 165 Those who love Thy law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble.” Psalm 119:164-165
Our So What?
Seek God in prayer. (It's never too late to begin.)
Brethren, let’s pray for one another.
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.” Amen
1 Timothy 1:17
