God's Heart

When Saul didn't wait for Samuel to offer the sacrifice at Gilgal, Samuel asked him, "What have you done?" Samuel was disappointed with Saul to say the least. It's like the scene from the Indianana Jones movie, he said, "You acted foolishly."
What he said next was what moved me today. He said, "...the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord's command." A man after his own heart. That's what I want to be. I hope that's what you want to be, too. Someone after God's own heart.
I pursue too often my own heart. I want my way, my things, my will. So for today, I will try to seek God's heart. And maybe I can make it a habit. Have a great day. JW
