The LORDS’ choice

When choosing people for certain tasks, many of us look for outward appearances of strength, wit and or prestige according to this worlds standards. The LORD God who made the heavens and the earth however, searches the heart and tests the mind, (Jeremiah 17:10). It is not like the LORD to make mistakes when He sets people apart for certain tasks, and David is such an example of the LORD doing what He knows best to do. Though a man of faults and failures like all of us, David is perhaps the epitome of God’s grace and mercy during a time of war and chaos. Enter David, a man after Gods very own heart, (Acts 13:22).
