today i read from 1 sam 22, and and i didnt stop, till i finished 2 sam 4
in those passages was written all that david did from the time he fled saul, till the time he became king.
all those years, he faced hard times.
and his hard times make our hard times look like fun.
i mean, he warred. his king pursued him and sought his life.
and all the while his heart was faithful. faithful to God; to a strong sense of morality.
such that when he refused to "touch the lords anointed" and things like that, it wasnt a strategy to win people's favour, it wasnt just for show, but he really meant everything that he did.
and everything that he did fell in line with Gods word.
THAT is remarkable.
love the lord with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.
we learnt that last night. i think david modeled it.
and i think i shall strive to set my soul, and my mind on God. at least then the heart might follow.
