David & Goliath

For the past couple weeks David and Goliath has been a story really close to my heart. I have to retake my boards tomorrow and in all honesty it feels like my modern day Goliath. Now I know that seems a little extreme BUT I do tend to feel a little overwhelmed. Although, as God always does, He has given me a really great comfort in resting in HIM. Last Sunday God renewed in me something I had long forgotten. Before there was clinicals, care plans, HESI exams, and NCLEX boards, God gave me the desire to show people His heart. I mean that's the reason I decided to go into Nursing in the first place!! It was plain as day, as I worshiped to this song about none other than David the one story I had been looking to for comfort about my boards. All this time I had been praying for God's power and that he would come through in a BIG way, but God wanted me to desire something more...simply His heart and His presence during my test.

Lyrics that God used so CLEARLY!! Your Heart David - Chris Tomlin
It never was about the oil dripping from my head
I never did dream beyond the pastures I could tend
It never was about the praise, not about the street parade
I didn’t really need a crowd when Goliath fell down

I never meant to woo a king with simple shepherd songs
Or hide away inside a cave, safe from danger’s arms
I never meant to wear a crown, or try to bring armies down
It never was about me and who I hoped to be

At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
My heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, let them agree
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart

I never thought I would be much more than Jesse’s kin
Who would ever dream a king would come from Bethlehem?
I know that I’ve crashed and burned, lives have been overturned
But You redeem everything, yeah, even me

At the end of the day, I want to hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, I pray all they see
Is my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart

Five little stones, or a royal robe
Shepherd or king doesn’t mean a thing
At the end of the day

At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks likeYour heart
Unashamed I will dance, In Your name, lift my hands
‘Til my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart


P.S. This song is on a CD I would totally recommend to everyone!!
Music inspired by The Story

So the next time your praying for God to move in a big way in circumstances in your life, be encouraged that He wants to move in a BIG way in your heart first!!
