The Life of King David (Part 1): God's Heart

“A man after God's own heart” can only refer to one person in Scripture: David. The youngest

son of Jesse. The shepherd boy of Bethlehem. The giant-killer. The teenaged king-elect. The

composer of psalms. Saul’s personal musician. The friend of Jonathan. The hunted fugitive.

The king of Israel. The father of Solomon. The champion in battle. The aged, troubled

monarch. God’s choice servant. A man of glorious triumph and great tragedy. Uniquely gifted

but human to the core. Strong in battle but weak at home. On and on we could go, and we

will , but let’s start at the beginning.”
