Acts 13:22
But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.'
Observation
Often I have equated David's heart with the life of a worshipper, and I think rightly so. However this verse shows the connection between a heart towards God and a life of obedience. A heart towards God is not just a singing heart, but a heart that obeys.
Application
I do want to ensure that my heart is soft towards the Lord, and that as I keep it that way, it will cause me to obey. A soft heart and an obedient life must come from drawing close to God, hearing Him speak, and obeying. May I be faithful not only in my devotions, but listening and obeying.
Prayer
Father, please help me to love You like David did, with all my heart. And please help me to live a life of obedience, doing everything you want me to do. I want to COMPLETE all the work You have for me.
