How can a person with so many glaring inconsistencies be considered "a man after God's own heart"? David's heart was not perfect-it was devoted. He was a lover of God ... the sweet psalmist of Israel. And, although centuries have passed since David lived, his life still speaks to us today-to encourage and correct us and even to lift us into the presence of God Himself. I pray this study of David's life will compel you to be a lover of God, to listen to God's heart and that your heart would learn to beat with His.
