The Heart of David
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)
His master replied, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”—Matthew 25:21 (NIV)
Do you have the heart of a servant in all that you do? Are you using the abilities, gifts and resources that you have been given to bring glory to the Lord? Ask God to show you ways you can be of service. Whenever you feel a task is too big ask Him for help.
Heavenly Father, help me live so that I am one day welcomed to heaven with the words, “Well done!”
