Have you ever wondered why God called David “a man after My own heart”?
« I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart… » (Acts of the Apostles 13:22)
What made David so special?
It was simply because he made a vow to God in the wilderness to bring back the ark of the covenant to its rightful place among God’s people in Jerusalem.
For more than twenty years, King Saul had left the ark in a hilly place called Kirjath Jearim (1 Samuel 7:2).
David had said:
« I will not enter the tent where I dwell…Until I have found a place for the Lord… »(Psalms 132:3-5)
The act of bringing the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem today is comparable to the act of bringing Jesus Christ back to the center of our lives.
If today we want to be men or women after the heart of God, let us pursue Jesus to bring him back to the center of our lives. This is where the secret lies.
If we make Jesus the centerpiece of every aspect of our life, our marriage, our family, our career, and our finances, we will see the fullness of His blessings flow into our lives.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, help us to make your son Jesus the center of our whole life.
It is in the precious name of Jesus Christ himself that we pray, Amen.
