Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour.
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! - PSALM 8:1–9 (NIV)

THE PSALMS OF DAVID – A Heart After God’s Own
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. King David – PSALM 28:7 (NIV)
King David truly was a ‘hero of the faith’ – the only person mentioned more in scripture than him was Jesus Himself. His faith and zeal created a standard against which all Israel’s future kings were measured. He was, however, far from perfect.
In his life he was confronted by many challenges, some of his own making, some through no fault of his own, but despite all this, he stayed faithful till the end and his legacy remained, ‘a man after God’s own heart’ (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22).
Over the next week, we’ll explore together five of the psalms David wrote throughout his life. How did King David navigate the seasons of joy, trouble, and immense difficulty that he came across? What insights can we draw from David’s life that could impact our own? How do we become people after ‘God’s own heart’?
