One of my favorite writers in the bible has to be David. It is said that he was a man after Gods own heart, and if you study his life I think you would gain some understanding as to why God felt this way. David’s life brings me so much encouragement, and not because he became a great king and accomplished great things.

David was just like you and I, just as good and wicked as we can be in the here and now. He fell from grace with God, and in a really really big way. But he loved and believed in God so much, that he got back up and sought to reconcile with his creator… owning his own failures! If God faithfully met this man on the battlefields of his own mistakes, then surely He will keep picking me up off the ground each time I take a wrong step on my own journey.

David’s poems and songs offer a great depth of understanding about Gods character. Every time I read Psalms it encourages and strengthens my heart. When you listen to the words of Psalm 139, may the truth of how well God knows and loves YOU, be an encouragement for your Sunday.

Oh, and I almost forgot our breakfast …
