These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

April 14

   
Psalm 7, 27, 31, 34, 52
Is it any wonder that God calls David a man after His own heart? When reading the Psalms of David, one is caught up in the glory of God. He seeks God for everything, realizing that He is the source for all our needs and desires. David praises God for everything, understanding that God is worthy and that He alone deserves the credit. David also joins God in His love for humanity, and His hatred of sin. There are a number of Messianic quotes found in David's psalms. I believe that one reason Jesus quotes David so frequently is to give honor to the man who loved Him so intently. Oh, I know that there is the aspect of prophetic fulfilment, but there is also honor to whom honor is due. David was far from perfect, which should bring us great comfort. God is not looking for perfection. God loves David because of his humble submission, love, and obedient heart.
