Adam, Eve, & Relationships: After His own Heart is the Standard p5

After His own heart is the Standard: part 5

God Morning! TJIF! Thank Jesus It’s Friday! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell on Friday January 8, 2010. Well we are on Part 5 of Adam, Eve, & Relationships and we are finishing up on the men. Well let’s jump right into it. We all remember the famous description of how God’s heart is, with the comparison of King David being a man after his own heart. So much so that Jesus Christ is even from his bloodline. But why is he such a remarkable standard of a man outside the fact that Jesus came from his lineage. David was the Greatest King in the bible, passionate, a musician, writer, composer, poet, honest, and fearless. On the other hand he was also and adulterer, murderer, and at times vane. So how is this the Standard of a man? The main thing I believe why God chose David and said that he was a man after his own heart is that even though David was all of these things good and bad, he always repented for his wrong doing with a complete conviction and never did that sin again. He was honest with God at all time. Even when he was happy, sad, and angry. This flawed man always tried to keep God first and therefore God blessed him and gave Him his favor for keeping that divine order. As men we have all of the same heart that David, which God said was after his, but all we need to do is realize it. We need to draw on those qualities and please the Lord by putting Him in His rightful position and as a result we will be MEN after Gods own heart as well. Now if we are after God’s own heart, what do you think will happen to our relationships with our girlfriends, fiancés, and wives? What do you think would happen to our current circumstances? And more importantly what will happen to the body of Christ? An unthinkable change would sweep the nation, if we will be what and whom we are called to be. God has already showed us he can do and documented it in this same passage time and time again by delivering David out of the clutches of circumstance. Please read I Samuel 13:13-14

And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel forever. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
