Go After God's Heart

DAY 7 OF 12

At All Times

What if you found out there was a story in the Bible about a man anointed by God to be king who let drool run down his beard while faking insanity in order to spare his own life? There is. It’s another David story. Another story that happened before David became king. During the same time, David wrote one of the highest praises of God written by a human, Psalm 34, which as the NIV puts it begins, I will extol the Lord at all times. David apparently really meant all times.

The Message version of Psalm 34:10 sums up David’s thoughts on the matter. Young lions on the prowl get hungry, but God-seekers are full of God. In other words, go looking for excitement and you’ll stay hungry; go after God, and you’ll stay filled with Him.

David wasn’t talking about the kind of filling that makes you content. He was talking about the kind of being full that makes you courageous. As a leader of a small group, you may be able to identify with David’s moment of insanity. Can you also identify with his commitment to worship God at all times? Being entrenched in people’s real and messy lives is surely an adventure. But, if we can learn anything from David in Psalm 34, it’s that God is more than enough for those who seek Him. And that’s you, remember? You’re going after His heart.

Leader Tip: Leaders worship God at all times because God is enough.
