** An Insatiable Thirst for God’s Friendship andFavour**
“After removing Saul, he made David their king.
God testified concerning him: ‘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 NIV)
God is looking for people of character. If we
could grasp the significance of how important
this is to God, we could be candidates for
fulfilling missions God has appointed to be done
during the time we have on earth.
David was such a man – a man after God’s heart.
He had an insatiable thirst for relationship with
God. He yearned for God’s friendship and favor.
When he messed up, he confessed his sin. When
He learned what God’s will was, he was prompt
in seeing that it was done.
By the grace of God, we can determine to be a
person after God’s heart. But good intentions are
not enough. Someone said that the road to hell
is paved with good intentions. God needs people
who will execute and obey his will
wholeheartedly.
Elsewhere in the Scripture, we are told that the
eyes of the Lord go throughout the earth,
looking for and working strong on behalf of
those whose hearts are loyal to him. God is
looking for clean vessels, fit for use by the
Master, who are prepared for every good work.
If we practice KingdomNomics within the proper
framework, we place ourselves in a position,
subject to God’s sovereignty, to be candidates he
can use in his service.
Today, ask yourself:
On my “bucket list,” where is my relationship
with God? Is it first on the list? Do I thirst and
hunger for it more than anything else?
