AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

The Lord is pleased with those who have a heart like His.
He was pleased with David. How could the Lord choose
someone like David and be pleased with him? David was
a man of bloodshed, he committed adultery, and he did
deceitful things to take advantage of his enemies. If we
are honest with ourselves, there are things in our lives
that would certainly not be pleasing to the Lord. But He
chose David because he recognized his sin and he fully
repented and cried out to the Lord. If we fully repent and
cry out to Him, He will not only forgive us, but He will
consider us as people after His own heart.


Heavenly Father, we pray that your Holy Spirit would
reveal to us our wrong doings so that we can come to
you and repent. Then we thank you that your love is so
great toward us that you would be pleased with us and
consider us as children after your own heart. In
Jesus' name.


Read 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.'" (NIV)


"And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony,
and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine
own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.'" (KJV)
