Quest for God's Own Heart
The Old Testament
Through the Eyes of Michael the Archangel
“But God
removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have
found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I
want him to do.’”
(Acts 13:22)
(Michael
the Archangel retelling the story of David Part 2)
From Heaven, I watched in horror as
Saul stood from his throne and hurled his spear at David. David ducked just in
time as the spear barely missed his ear, embedding deep into the wall behind
him. “What are you doing, father?” Jonathan cried out. “David has done nothing
to deserve your wrath.”
“Jonathan,
I know you want David to sit on my throne,” Saul shouted in anger. “You’re the
heir of my kingdom, not David. Why don’t you start acting like it?”…
… Arrows penetrated the sky, casting a
shadow on the valley of Gilboa. Saul and Jonathan collapsed to the ground as
arrows pierced through their armor. Saul looked over and saw Jonathan lying
dead on the ground. “My son, what have I done?”
Saul cried out with a voice that echoed
throughout the valley before thrusting his spear into his own heart. Crawling
over to Jonathan, he burst into tears. “I’ve failed you, my son. I’ve failed
you.”...
...God called out to David, with
compassion in His voice. “David, My servant, if you follow Me, I will always
show you the way. Go now to the town of Hebron. The people of Judah are now
ready to anoint you their king.”
David looked up to Heaven, raising his
hands in praise, as he shouted. “Thank You, Lord, for hearing the prayer of
Your servant. I love You, my God, for You’re my rock and my fortress in times
of trouble. You’ve defeated my enemies, and I’ll shout Your praises to the
nations, for You’re worthy of all my praise. I’ll lead Your people to follow
and worship You.”...
