One of the greatest compliments ever given was when God described David as a man after his own heart[1]. Now, David was not a perfect man, but obviously, he was a very godly man. Thus, it is worthwhile to note the various attributes David possessed. We find one crucial characteristic in Psalm 61:8, where David says, “So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.”
For David, obeying God wasn’t something to do when he visited the Tabernacle only. David wasn’t content to act holy while worshipping but live worldly at other times. David’s religion wasn’t a one-day-a-week affair. No, for David, obedience and godliness were a daily lifestyle. He sought to perform his vows to God day after day after day. Many people treat Christianity as something that happens on Sunday or whenever they attend church services. Such isn’t true faith. Godliness is something we should do day after day, just like David.
