A Singing Heart

David, "a man after God's own heart," had a song for every situation:

sitting under the stars at night
struggling with depression
recalling God's work among His people age after age
prophesying about a suffering Savior and a ruling King
carrying for his father's sheep
on his knees in broken-hearted confession of his sins
crying out in prayer for God's deliverance
describing the righteous man and his blessings
observing the wonders of God's creation
seeing the mother bird gathering her young under the protection of her wings
standing on a rock in a high place
praising the greatest of God
encouraging the righteous to not be envious of the apparent prosperity of the wicked
seeing a thirsty deer panting at the water's edge
pleading with God to search out every aspect of his life
fleeing from the oppression of King Saul
wandering in the wilderness
considering God's care for him from his mother's womb to his old age
before and after the day of battle

Always a song, always seeing God's hand in everything around him, in every situation "great" or "small," in every memory, in every hope.

Do you have a singing heart? In all things at all times?

Are you a man or woman after God's own heart?
