David was a shepherd, but when God looked at him, he saw a king. Sure enough, when David grew up, thats just what he became. And David was a great king. He had a heart like Gods heart - full of love. Now, that didnt mean that he was perfect, because he did some terrible things - he even murdered a man. No, David made a big mess of his life. But God can take even the biggest mess and make it work in His plan. I need a new heart, Lord, David prayed, because mine is full of sin. Make me clean inside. God heard Davids prayer. He forgave David and He made David a promise: I will make you great, David. And one day, a King will be born into your family, and He will heal the whole world David was a songwriter too. Davids songs are like prayers, they are called Psalms. This one is called The Song of the Shepherd, and it goes like this: God is my shepherd And I am his little lamb He feeds me He guides me He looks after me I have everything I need Inside, my heart is very quiet As quiet as lying still in soft green grass In a meadow By a little stream Even when I walk through the dark lonely places I wont be afraid Because my Shepherd knows where I am He is here with me He keeps me safe He rescues me He makes me strong And brave He is getting wonderful things ready for me Especially for me Everything I ever dreamed of! He fills my heart so full of happiness I cant hold it all inside Wherever I go I know Gods Never Stopping Never Giving Up Unbreaking Always and Forever Love Will go, too! (The Jesus Storybook Bible)
