September
30, 2012 PASTOR PEN: Scriptures from
last Sunday sermon, A man after God’s Heart---I Samuel 13: 1-14, Matthew
3:17, &Chapter 17:5, Psalms 51: 1-4, & Vrs 9-10 Romans 3:23, I John
1:8-10, Chapter 2:3. I Chronicles
7:14, Psalms 103:1-5, Chapter 117:1-2, 107:32, 34:3 and Psalm 22:23----God is
still looking for Men and Women who will follow his heart? Are you that person?
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.
David killed Goliath, champion of the Philistines, when David was only a youth and Goliath a
giant and veteran warrior. David was victorious because he trusted in God for
the victory, not himself. He killed
many of Israel's enemies in battle. Despite several opportunities, David
refused to kill King Saul, God's first anointed king, who was pursuing David
out of mad jealousy. He became
friends, like brothers, with Saul's son Jonathan, setting a model of
friendship that everyone can learn from.
King David is included in the "Faith Hall of Fame" in Hebrews 11. David was an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Jesus was often called "Son of
David." God called David a man after his own heart. Because of David’s honest--
self-examination is necessary to recognize our own sin,
then we must repent of it. We may try to fool ourselves or others, but we
cannot hide our sin from God. God always offers forgiveness for our sins, but we cannot escape the
consequences. God highly values our faith in him. Despite life's ups and downs, God
is ever-present to give us comfort and help.
