Acts 13:22 says “But God removed him from the kingship and replaced him with David, a man about who God said, `David son of Jesse is a man after MY OWN heart, for he WILL DO everything I want him to.’ I’ve called myself “a young woman after God’s own heart”. Wouldn’t we all like to be known as this? Someone after God’s heart? This is what God Himself called David! How amazing. I can’t help but ask myself what it really means to be after His heart. What IS God’s heart? Its so big. Actually its too big! Looking through the bible I can see numerous times of pieces of God’s heart shown. He loves me (thats a big one), He wants to know me, be my everything, be pure, not fear, love & forgive each other etc etc,! Another is that He wants me to be obedient. He said it that verse.. for David would do anything/every thing that God wanted Him to do. Remember Goliath? He makes me want to go beyond fear in so many different aspects of my life. David was a revolutionary by being after God’s heart. He spent time making sure he spent time with God because wanted to, not kuz he knew someone was going to read his blog all the time. I want to be like him in so many ways.. he was a worshipper, and I know that God’s heart desires worship. Another aspect of obedience. I’m looking more and more at David’s life right now.. chasing and living His heart for my life, and this generation.
wow. that’s a challenging question. Am I really after HIS heart? Or am I trying to fit His heart into what I want to do for myself? I look forward to hearing more out of your study of David… I’m sure there’s a lot to be gleaned!! Good job!
I love My Woman of God! You hear such amazing things from our precious savior! You seriously teach me soo much! i love you to death!
I can’t wait to be with you my baby!
