Why Was David a Man After God's Own Heart? - Stanley M McNeil - April 1983

Stanley M McNeil

What special attributes did David develop that gained him such high favor with God? I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will" (Acts 13:22). So said God of King David of ancient Israel! What a positive evaluation! Of all the people who have lived, God has given David a special place in His heart. We know from Scripture that King David, when resurrected, will rule over all Israel in the Kingdom of God (Jer. 30:9, Ezek. 37:24). Have you stopped to consider why God felt this way about him? As one of God's people today, being judged now for your response to God (I Pet. 4:17), how do you measure up to David's example? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
