In Psalm 63:8
David said, “my soul follows hard after
thee.” In Psalm 34:4 he said, “I sought the Lord and he heard me.”
Seeking and following hard expose the deep hunger within David for the presence
of God.

As I have
sought the Lord earnestly over the past month I have studied David’s life.

In Psalm
34:15, 17 he was a man of prayer. “The
eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and
his ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry and the Lord hears and
delivers them out of all their
troubles.”

He loves the
house of the Lord in Psalm 27:4, “One
thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in
the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the
Lord, and to seek out the Lord in his temple.”

David was also
a great example of repentance and Godly sorrow. In reference to Uriah and
Bathsheba David says, “I acknowledged my
sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid.” (Psalm 32:5)
All through Psalm 51 he refers to me, mine, and my.

Vs.1 “Have mercy upon me, O God, according
to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot
out my transgressions.”
Throughout this classic of Godly sorrow David points no fingers, except to say,
“against thee only, have I sinned, and
done this evil in thy sight.”(Vs. 4)   God calls David,  "a man after his own heart." (Acts 13:22)

1 Chronicles 16:27 says, "Glory and honor are in God’s presence." When David was in the field of anonymity with the sheep, he gave glory and received glory form the Almighty. When he was sent for by Samuel to come to Jesse’s house he received the honor of being anointed the next King of Israel. 

In your field of anonymity  (when no one sees)  keep following hard after God. If God doesn’t honor you in man’s house, he will Hnor you in a house not made with human hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Corinthians 5:1)
