As we continue to look at David’s life in our reading today, we see how blessed he was by God. While we know David was not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, we do know that God called him a man after His own heart. God does not expect perfection from any of us. He expects us to have a real relationship with Him. We are redeemed by God’s grace and He does not expect perfection in order to lead us and bless us. We must look to God’s guidance in our lives and act according to His leading. Perfection has never been and never will be the goal.
