The man after God’s own heart

What are some of the things that contributed in God calling David the man after my own heart?

~ what was God’s heart like from the beginning?

~ While we were still yet sinners, he loved us and sent Christ to die for us.

~ Christ was his only son and he gave him for us

~ God cares, he leaves the 99 to look for the one that is lost

~ Jesus knows Judas will betray him, he shares his last meal with him.

Jesus is patient with Peter when he knows he will deny him

~David longed and pursued justice and mercy for God’s people. He longed to do works that were pleasing to God even when his life was at risk.

~ David ducks the arrows of King Saul - he had just killed Goliath and he could take down Saul but he would not touch the anointed of the Lord.

~ David asked to pay a risky price for Michal,
