1Chronicles 22 – Seeking God takes a willing heart.
We have been looking at how David has learned to seek the Lord in his life in his place as king. We have seen him make mistakes, we have seen him sin, seen him walk in disobedience to God that cost other peoples lives, we have seen him go to battle with the power of the Lord being with him, we have seen him being told no by God, but we cannot escape the fact that all of David’s ups and downs has brought him to the place of always seeking the Lord for the help that he needed. These are the things that lead him to be called a man after God’s own heart.
Why? Because David had a willing heart, willing to accept his wrong and confess it to the Lord, willing to do what God has planed no matter what.
Today we take a look at this willing heart of David as he gets things ready to build the temple of God he is not angry that God has said no he is completely willing to do what God wanted we see the heart of a true servant of God.
