Known as a shepherd, warrior, poet, and “a man after God’s own heart,” David united the tribes of Israel, established Jerusalem as the capital, and received the Davidic Covenant, promising that his throne would be established forever — ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, the Son of David. David’s life... More invites divine examination, wanting anxious thoughts exposed and led in the everlasting way.

David’s life... More marvels that God searches and knows him completely, perceiving thoughts from afar. He flees God's Spirit in vain, for darkness is light to God. He ends with a prayer for God to search his heart, know anxious thoughts, and lead him in the way everlasting.
