God's Testimony: David- A Man After God's Own Heart

Contributed by Shashi Marian on Feb 9, 2026

Acts 13:22 is a very significant Scripture Wherein God testifies concerning David and called him a man after His Own Heart. Man’s testimony wavers according to the circumstances but when God says something we need to take a very serious note of it. God does not change His statements.

This brings us to the question as to who David was, what was so special about him and why God had to testify concerning him. Some of the few points are enumerated below. ...read more
