DAVID was a man after God's own heart, notwithstanding all his failures. What a large portion of the word of God is occupied with him, with his troubles, and exercises of soul! How little in comparison we hear of Solomon and all his glory!
Now, how is this? How could it be said that David was a man after God's own heart? It was because he always counted upon God. However wrong he had been, whatever his trouble, he always went straight to God. This is what Christians should do go through thick and thin to God. Let us remember that there are no surprises to Him, however we may be surprised at all the evil and failure which we find in ourselves.
