//
“And when he had removed him, he raised
up unto them David to be their king; to whom
also he gave testimony, and said, I have found
David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
heart, which shall fulfil all my will” (Acts 13:22).
It is important for me to know that the knowledge I have
of God becomes God’s life in me.
The patience that I
develop through following God becomes contentment for
my life.
The truth that I understand turns into love, grace,
and mercy through the indwelling Spirit.
Then, we have
fellowship with God because of an inward revival that makes
us meek.
Meekness that comes from a revival inwardly
makes us gentle outwardly.
With gentleness comes
kindness that always produces a spirit of faith-rest.
The Cross of Calvary always brings in a Christ-like attitude.
A heart that is up-to-date with God is a
heart that has a fresh response to God.
I want to show you from the Bible how one
man practiced a life of revival.
In His foreknowledge,
God saw this man and decided that
he would be the man, thirty years before this
man was born.
In 1 Samuel 13, the prophet
Samuel said to Saul, “But now thy kingdom
shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a
man after his own heart, and the LORD hath
commanded him to be captain over his people,
because thou hast not kept that which the LORD
commanded thee” (1 Samuel 13:14).
He was referring
to David.
God kept looking for a man.
What was the
qualification God was looking for?
He was looking
for a man who had a heart after Him.
He could have found Samuel who was a
beautiful man of God.
He could have chosen
Jesse, the father of David, whose name indicates
“living water of the Almighty God.”
He could
have chosen Saul also, and He did choose him
to be king, but He did not choose Saul as the
man after His own heart.
He could have selected
Abner, the commander-in-chief of the army, but
He didn’t.
God selected a teenager, a young man
who remained committed to caring for his father’s
sheep.
You know, many people have this idea that
teenagers are not supposed to be spiritual, that
they don’t know what they want to do with
their life.
But God chose a teenager.
Why did He
choose this teenager?
You will find out in these
pages.
Read on and you will see that this
teenager knew how to fellowship with God.
He
knew how to get to know God.
He knew how to
be trained by God, how to trust God—how to go
after God.
