The world raises an eyebrow
When it hears God and His
own
call a chief
murderous adulterer
a man after His own holy heart.
Is it because King David's
heart was
like that of
His God Almighty, or
was it more like, despite his flaws,
his heart wanted to be like God's?
David, not just a king of
antiquity,
but a flawed
man, like you and me,
chasing after a God he can't see,
but feeling each beat deep in Thee.
Much courage David did not
possess
but took cover
for as much as needed
in God, His Rock and safe Fortress.
Like any sheep grazing in
the fold
it's important
to see the staff clear
and to keep both eyes on the Lord.
Knowing beyond any shadow's
doubt,
finding your
way in the deepest dark,
requires the Lord's light more devout.
David's strength did not
him qualify,
to fully
shield him from his enemies,
it was in God his power did multiply.
David anchored his trust
not to man,
he knew
upon Whom to link his faith,
relying on the Ruler of in Me you can.
God does not look at what
man eyes,
it's
hearts after His he does prize.
1 Samuel 16:7 |
