The Key Of David
We read in Revelation 3:7 and Isaiah 22:22 about the Key of David and many scholars and analysts conclude that the Key of David represents government and authority.
I have always been fascinated with the life of David and wondered what it is that made him so great that Jesus was known as the Son of David. That the Bible mentions that God gives the Key of David to someone He is pleased with, and trusts enough to give so much authority, that whatever door they open no one will be able to shut and whatever door they shut no one will be able to open.
Wouldn’t you want to hold that key? Acts 13:22 gives us a clue to obtaining that key. God says He found David to be a man after His own heart. Interesting words, considering David was an adulterer and a murderer. But right from a very young age, David’s desire was for God. The Bible mentions how he played his harp and worshipped God. He wasn’t concerned about how he looked when he danced like a mad man before the Ark of God. He was so consumed with zeal for God that he said, One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple (Psalm 27:4).
It was this passion that gave David the idea to build the temple (1 Kings 8:17,18). This life of intimacy is the key to the Key of David. It was intimacy that brought David back to the heart of God no matter how hard he fell. His heart was aligned with God’s heart; that is why God could trust him.
Today, God is looking for intimate lovers, the kind that He can entrust the Key of David to. He wants to give them that authority and power, that they can open a door, which can never be shut and when they shut a door, it can never be opened. Will we be those lovers?
Prayer
Father God, today my one desire is to know You, be known by You and be intimate with You. I desire to have a heart like David’s, that I may walk in the authority You have given me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
