Heart Like His

Heart Like His is a collection of blogs through the story of David, the shepherd boy who would become king of Israel and most importantly, a man after God’s own heart. As I dive into David’s life, I want to keep asking the question – what made him a man after God’s own heart? He certainly wasn’t perfect – there are some pretty big moral failures in his life. He certainly had family issues and personal conflicts. But yet, there was something about his heart that stood the test of time, that saw him through the waiting to become king, the sin with Bathsheba, the trouble with his family.

There was something about him, though, maybe about the way he tended his sheep, or the way he faced the “giants” in his life, something about the way he sought to honor God and humbled himself before Him. There was something different about this man.Whatever that something different was, I want it. I want a heart like his. I want to be a woman after God’s heart, to live my life in a way that glorifies Him, that has the tenderness of a shepherd and the boldness of a warrior.

I worked through this book as part of Beth Moore's Bible study "David: Seeking a Heart Like His" with some incredible women at my home church, FBC Woodway.
