TWO KINDS OF HEARTS

This morning i learn from ACTS 13:22. It's from a sermon preached by the apostle Paul.And in the sermon,Paul poited out the lives of two different men who had 2 kinds of hearts.

Let me share with u wat i learn from these two man.

KING SAUL - THE 1ST MAN WAS SAUL, WHO REIGNED AS KING OVER ISRAEL AND GOD'S PEOPLE FOR 40 YEARS.

Saul served himself and did things his way
Saul's worship consisted of putward acts of sacrifice only.
Saul's heart was centered of saul
Saul's devotion to God was impulsive and irregular
Saul was proud and relied on his own skill,his own wisdom and judment,and his own physical strength.

KING DAVID- THE 2ND MAN WAS DAVID, WHO SERVED AS KING OVER GOD'S PEOPLE AFTER GOD REMOVED SAUL AS KING .

David's heart was willing to obey God.
David served God , not himself.
David wan soncerned with following God's will, not his own
David, amight warrior depended upon God for his victiries and repeatedly declared ,"THE LORD IS THE STRONGHOLD OG MY LIFE" (PS27:1)
What i see here., God gave both these king opportunities to lead Israel, but in the end they walked down different paths-Saul away from God and david toward him.These two men were different musicians, one who sits down at a piano and plunks on it,here alittle , there a little and the other who sits for hours at a time , a disciplined ,faithful and dedicated student.

Now it's my turn to look at what God's word has to say about these two men and their two kinds of heart.

As i learned here today ,Saul was a man who simply did not care to obey God!He was not a man after God's own heart..and David was ! I learned the key to living a life of obedience - A LIFE THAT STAYS ON GOD'S PATH - IS THE HEART.
