After God's Own Heart

Some thousand years after his death, Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, reveals what God remembers about David.

Acts 13:22 . . . . I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.

David wrote the following prayer:

Psalm 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

If we are after God's own heart we will hunger for His presence and if it's missing, we will take every step to recover it. It might require repentance, obedience, confession or forgiveness.

A heart after God's own heart has a consuming desire to honor Him by searching out His word and carrying it out to the letter.

Are you after God's own heart? If so it will be seen in your desire for His presence, your delight in His precepts, and your dedication to His praise.
