Chasing God’s Heart

After removing Saul, he made David their king. He testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’

Acts 13:22

When God searched for the next king of Isreal to take Saul’s place, He looked for one thing. David didn’t come from a royal family, in fact he came from a family that tended sheep. David was not the biggest, smartest or most charismatic person out there. In the eyes of the world, David was probably the last person that would be picked to become King. What attracted David to God was that he was a man after God’s heart.

In our lives, we think that in order to advance or move forward, we need more strength, wisdom, etc. If we truly want to step forth and experience a life of power and of worth, we need one thing and one thing only, a heart after God’s heart. If we pursue after God with all of our soul, mind and strength we will see His hand of blessing over our lives. Excitment and passion will come and allow us to excel in the things we are doing now. New doors and opportunities will start to open. Healing and closure will take place from the things of our past. Most importantly, you will find yourself in the center of God’s will, where you are making a kingdom impact to the people that are around you.

Today, instead of going after comfort, recognition, or personal gains, go after the heart of God. Have an attitude where you are willing to do EVERYTHING that He wants you to do.

Prayer:
Father, I thank you that you choose the weak to shame the strong. As I live going after your heart, would you guide me into your glory.
