David

Lately, I have been enjoying very much a Disciple I group on Thursday morning at our church, Floris. I took the course when I was serving as a missionary candidate long time ago in Korea. So, I feel like that everything comes to me as new even though I read a bible daily. We have been studying the big people in the old tastement last week: Samuel, Saul, David, and Solomon. I have thought about various thoughts and point of views about those people while I was reading the chapters, especially, David. He was not abnormally bright or good looking I don't think. He was truly a human. As more I read, I could more understand how much he was a true human who was full of emotion. As we all know, David was a strong leader but a very sensitive man. well.. sadly the sensitivity led him to temptation. However, I think he was still David who had loved, feard, and known God so well.
I was wondering how God loved David more than anybody else or how David feard God so deeply with true love and sincere heart. What made him being like that? As we could see, Saul and Solomon just failed at their glories but David did not. He was humble completely in front of the Lord. He was a dare young man faced to Goliath but he kneeled and wept like a child faced to the Lord. I could hear David's voice through Psalms so vividly. He had the most passionate heart toward the Lord even though he sometimes failed the temptation like most of us.
I want to have the passionate heart like David toward the Lord. Because of the heart, he could overcome those difficult times with praises and thanksgiving. He knew who God was! He trust God with all his heart because he knew what kind God was.
I pray that I could know God truly and love Him with full of confidence like David. David often praises the Lord that God's love endures forever, and trusting His unfailing love. Let's praise the Lord and His unfailing Love everyday.
