Acts 13:22 "I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after My own heart; he will carry out My every wish."
We're each going to leave a testimony of some kind when we leave this world. Have you ever wondered what you will be most remembered for by your friends and loved ones? If God was writing a summary of your life, how would He describe you?
In our passage today, the apostle Paul tells us God's evaluation of David: He described him as "a man after My own heart." What an awesome testimony of a life well lived! The Lord wasn't describing a perfect man, but one whose life was centered on God's interests and desires.
David's many psalms attest to the fact that his relationship with the Lord was the most important aspect of his life. His passion was to obey God and carry out His will. However, that doesn't mean he was always obedient. Who can forget his failure with Bathsheba? But even when he sinned, his heart was still bent toward God. The conviction he felt and his humble repentance afterward proved that his relationship with the Lord was still his top priority.
