How easy it is to see David`s faith and confidence in Psalms but missing out on what David could see i.e- burning love of God. The love that lit David`s heart and kept Him with God in the deepest of His troubles and heights of his success.
We do and speak things that David said but forget to ask his (our) God to quieten us with His love and show us HIS heart. David fought in public because HE seeked God`s heart in private.
I was asked by God more than a year back to give psalms HIS voice - to show people what HE wants to say to them through psalms more than what David prayed (procrastinators has this problem and hey ! I am improving I promise !!!). When we focus too much on a human being it limits us and when fix our eyes on GOD` s character it makes us capable of doing pursuing limitless and impossible.
Why should you and I focus on that David (more than I do on GOD) who did not have the authority on the enemy of our souls , who did not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in him 24*7*365 and who did not have JESUS representing him in heaven. I would focus more on Jesus (God) who said you and I are capable of doing things greater than what Jesus Himself did when He was on this Earth.
I do not mean to say that we do not get to learn anything from David`s life but what I mean is this- David had a close relationship with GOD and that is the reason he was everything he was. Instead of trying to become like David how about we seek the GOD who made David what David was so that we can become what God has called us to be. Confusing right? haha . It was for me too. Praying you understand what I mean here .
Psalm 27 - is the closest to my heart - and this is the first one of hopefully many more to come !!
Dearest Child of Mine,
I am the one who shows you the reality of your life
It is I who interprets and tells you the mysteries of what you face
There is no reason at all to be afraid because you in the grip of My hands

These people , situation trouble or whatever you want to call it
They are standing against you and are gathering many more to attack you
But they cannot do anything to you - Nah! they cannot -in fact they will go back
or retreat because of the defeat i have already written over their faces
Stop trembling and come on! ask your heart to calm down
When you see the attack is becoming stronger
Let your trust in My favor on you become mightier
That is the only counter attack you need to charge on them
In this dissatisfaction, misery and displeasure

that you look to Him for love in despair, nourishment in desert and courage in dark

My mission is to be there for you so come on speak to Me - what is bothering you ?
