1 samuel 13:14
“… the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people…”
the Lord sought david out! often times i’ve thought that i need to seek for God’s will in my life. i need to seek for His presence. little did i realise that He would seek me out if my heart were in the right place. why be anxious and worry about what God’s will is for me in my life? i know He will call me, set me apart when the time is right. when i am ready. in the meantime. what am i doing to prepare myself? is my heart right with God? am i a person after God’s own heart?
psalm 25:4-5
“show me the right path, o Lord; point out the road for me to follow. lead me by Your truth and teach me, for You are the God who saves me. all day long i put my hope in You.”
psalm 143:10
“Teach me to do Your will; for You are my God: Your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
such was david’s heart. all he wanted to do was to serve God. it was his heart’s desire. he didn’t surrender part of his life to God. no. he did not even just surrender his best to God, he surrendered ALL his life to God. every single part of it. am i surrendering everything to God? is my heart’s desire REALLY to please Him and to please Him only? can i say with full sincerity “i desire to do God’s will; nothing more, nothing less, nothing else” ?
