David obviously spent much time in God’s presence. He uses the term “Wait upon the Lord” to describe his prayer life. He probably cultivated this devotional habit as a young shepherd boy who would make music to God while watching sheep. He retained this habit his entire life.

To him is credited many of the Psalms. Although we don’t know the melodies of his songs, we have the lyrics to draw our conclusions on the relationship he had with God. We see him at his highest and lowest. This is a big reason why we love him so much, and can relate on a daily basis.

PRAYER: Lord, keep us close to You in the ups and downs of life. Inspire us to do great things for You.
