Acts 13:22 is one of the most amazing verses in the Bible. In the second part of that verse it says, “God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.” Acts 13:22b NLT

David was not perfect but he was committed to his God and his responsibilities. As a humble shepherd boy taking care of sheep a lion and a bear came to kill the sheep. David risked his life to protect the, and God enabled him to kill the lion and the bear. David was faithful in daily things and God made him ruler over much. We must learn from David to be faithful in the little responsibilities that God gives, only then will the Lord trust us with greater responsibilities.

David turned unsightly, untrained, people into a formidable army because they recognized that David had a heart after God’s own. They were inspired to believe life could be better, he gave them hope.

We live in a dying world with many dying churches. More and more people are finding themselves in distress and generally discontented with a meaningless life. If we live our lives with a heart after Gods own, we will draw people from this lost world to us and make them into a mighty army. Let’s seek to be people after God’s heart and do everything He wants is to do.
