Why was David chosen...what made him special. The answer is in 1 Samuel 13:14
The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord had commanded him to be commander over His people.
I so want a heart like David’s. A heart that desires what God desires. A heart that seeks Him with all that I have. How do we get a heart that seeks the heart of God? There is really only one way and that is from spending time with Him in His word and in prayer. Praying that with the time I have remaining on this earth that by His grace I would choose like Mary, to sit at His feet and learn from Him.
“Where did David get this heart?” I really enjoyed reading David Guzik here:
Obviously, from time spent with the Lord. But someone started him on that path. David says nothing of his father, but twice in the Psalms he refers to his mother as a maidservant of the Lord (Psalm 86:16 and Psa 116:16). Probably, it was David’s godly mother who poured her heart and love and devotion of the Lord into him, and gave him a foundation to build on in his own walk with the Lord. Like Timothy, God used David’s mother to pour into him a godly faith (2 Timothy 1:5).”
Be inspired and encouraged...choose the better part...the part that cannot be taken from you....and in so doing set an example for the little ones (and maybe even the bigger ones) in your life to do the same.
