Lesson 12 David's Heart
After removing Saul, He made David their king. He testified concerning him: "I have found David, sons of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do." Acts 13:22
The following words describe the heart of David as seen in his own writings:
Humble Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath. Psalm 62:9
Reverent I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:3
Respectful Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;
My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. Psalm 31:9
Trusting The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread. Psalm 27:1
Loving I love you, O LORD, my strength. Psalm 18:1
Devoted You have put gladness in my heart,
more than when their grain and anew wine abound. Psalm 4:7
Recognition I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders. Psalm 9:1
Faithful Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow m e all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6
Obedient But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on
those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children, to
those who keep His covenant and remember His precepts to do them. Psalm 118:17-18
Repentant For Your name's sake O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Psalm 25:11
We should examine ourselves to see if any of these qualities deserve greater attention in our witness.
