After Your Heart-Phil Wickham

Acts 13:22 tells us that David- 2nd king of Israel- had a special title:
After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will

A man after God's own heart. Through all of his successes and failures, David is forever remembered as the one person who God called a man after His heart. David received this title because of his great love and devotion to the Lord. When confronted with his sin, David wept and repented. HE did not try to justify his sin like others, he acknowledge it and went before the Lord a broken man. He worshipped the Lord with reckless abandon and did not worry about what others thought.

Phil Wickham encourages us to be a people after God's heart:
Can I have your attention
What are we starting here
Just look around you the answer is clear
Listen, listen
and hear the coming sound
All of the children are singing it loud

Let’s be the revolution
That lives for hold nothing back, nothing back

We’re after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it love like we mean it
This is the start we’re after Your heart

Start the ascension
Begin the holy climb
Up to where heaven and the earth collide
Bring your affection
All that you have inside
Enter the kingdom and become
alive

We must cast off the opinions of others and follow hard after the Lord. We must be diligent in pursuing the things of God's heart-love who He loves, serve who He serves,  give as He gives. When we lay aside all that worries us and chase God's heart, we will become alive and find true freedom
