David had this amazing ability to chose something far greater than honor, wealth, position, or power. He had made up his mind that there was one thing he wanted above all. Above every pleasure and adventure that would come with leading a nation he clearly states that his greatest reward would be found in God.
This is where I am at right now...well this is where I am trying to get. That above all in my life my greatest reward would be God. I want to be a man who is committed to pursuing God all the day of my life. I am just an average guy who longs to be with the God of the universe!
