I have a revelation a few weeks ago. Let me explain. I have been trying to get back to reading my bible more often (more than just Sundays when the pastor is giving his sermon points). I picked up where I had broken off and to my delight I am in the books of Psalms. Reading words penned by King David always makes my heart flutter a little. A good portion of my favorite hymns are inspired if not taken verbatim from some of the most beautiful verses. Truly emotional and soulful words.
Thinking upon that and reading some of the Psalms made me think how Kind David was a man after God's own heart. And for the initial understanding of this, I thought it meant he was similar in his desire as the same as God's- striving for holiness and righteousness. But then I thought of another interpretation. Something that now makes just as much sense and beauty as the first.
King David was literally seeking and chasing after God's heart! Reading the Psalms are like peeking into love letters he wrote to God. Can you imagine being so enamored and fully in love to be inspired to spout off poetry or sing at the top of your lungs? God did that to David. And what's amazing still- we do that to God! That's what it's all about isn't it? Pursuing God's love and immersing ourselves entirely into knowing and loving Him.
"Lord help me to be after Your heart continually and write the words to our Love song- Amen"
