The lives and rules of Hebrew kings are measured by the life of David, whether they did according to his ways or otherwise. Evidently, his lifestyle so impressed the Lord and His people that he became the measuring stick.

The impact of a life lived for God keeps influencing future generations in a significant way.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, speak through my life as I endeavor to develop a devotional life like David.

DAILY READING: 2 Kings 20-22
