Acts 13:22 (NKJV) 22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, \u2018I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.\u2019<\/p>\n

God removes, and God raises up!<\/p>\n

Sometimes we think we have the bull by the horns, so to speak. We think we have it all under control.<\/p>\n

Many of our government officials believe their positions are absolute, and no one can touch them.<\/p>\n

On a personal level, maybe we feel stable in our careers, in our personal lives, etc., as if we have it all under control.<\/p>\n

We need to recognize this in our lives and put a stop to it.<\/p>\n

Remember who really has control over it all every minute of every day.<\/p>\n

And He will step in when He\u2019s ready. He will say, “enough is enough”, when He knows the time is perfect.<\/p>\n

He will stop the evil and He will shut the mouths of the lions when He sees fit.<\/p>\n

We ask you today, “why are you worrying?”. Is it because of the things you are dealing with, or what you see happening around you?<\/p>\n

God raised up David to be the king who would replace Saul.<\/p>\n

David was just going along doing his daily things. He had no aspirations or visions of greatness for his life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes just being diligent in what we know to do, being steadfast and persistent, will bring in God\u2019s change.<\/p>\n

Just like in David\u2019s case, God pays close attention to our heart.<\/p>\n

The state of our heart will either please the Lord or make Him want to vomit us out of His mouth.<\/p>\n

Revelation 3:15-16 (NKJV) 15 \u201cI know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.<\/p>\n

He said David was, \u201ca man after My own heart”.<\/p>\n

Wow! I can\u2019t even imagine God saying that about any human being because of how imperfect we can be at times.<\/p>\n

God wasn\u2019t looking for a man with a perfect heart. He was looking for a man who would allow Him to change, teach, instruct and chasten him when needed; a man that would listen.<\/p>\n

Despite his faults, David desired to obey God in all that he did.<\/p>\n

I believe God wants to call all His children, \u201cA man or woman after His own heart”.<\/p>\n

If our heart is in such a place with God, He will work through each one of us. In that, we will fulfill our purpose here on this earth.<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n
