King David was a man after God's Own Heart. He was not a perfect man but his heart was perfect towards God and God took note of that. God does not look upon the outward part of a man but upon the inward part, a mans heart. Reading the Psalms it is clear that David had a very intimate, wonderful relationship with God that sustained him through some of the darkest hours of his life.
King David - A Man After God s Own Heart
King David was a man of contrasts. He was singlemindedly committed to God, yet guilty of some of the most serious sins recorded in the Old Testament.
David lived a frustrating life, first in the shadow of his brothers, then constantly on the run from vengeful King Saul. Even after he became king of Israel, David was engaged in almost constant warfare to defend the kingdom. King David was a great military conqueror, but he could not conquer himself. He allowed one night of lust with Bathsheba, and it had disastrous consequences in his life.
Although King David fathered Solomon, one of Israel's greatest kings, he was also the father of Absalom, whose rebellion brought bloodshed and grief.
King David's life was a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows. He left us an example of passionate love of God and dozens of psalms, some of the most touching, beautiful poetry ever written.
