Message

David, the shepherd boy was ‘the man after God’s heart.’ He had small, humble beginning, but finished big. He finished his life’s journey well because he trusted God in every situation he found himself. David was the youngest in his family, even prophet Samuel did not think anything of him but God chose him. David had a good relationship with God. He knew God and held on to Him even when he had trials and temptations. Though he had many challenges in his life, David wrote the most widely read and loved psalms in the Bible. Many of these psalms show David’s absolute trust and dependence on God. Some of them are: Psalm 23:1-6- The Lord is my shepherd and Psalm 91:1-16- He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High …

What to learn from the life of David:

David had a close relationship with God. How close are you to God? Do you relate with Him from a distance, only when you are in trouble or He is your Friend Who knows you as a child after His heart?

He was anointed to be king in Israel as a young boy, but he did not begin to reign until he was about thirty years, yet he waited patiently.

He did not cover up his sins but cried out to God for forgiveness (Psalm 51:1-19). You must not hide your sins
