And gentleman if you want a guy’s perspective on ‘Pressing Into God’ consider King David; the bear, lion, and giant killer; who could bend a bow of bronze, and who said in Psalm 144:1 “ Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to fight .”
That’s appealing right, bravado-Esque. And absolutely but also consider the heart of this Shepherd King found on full display while bringing back The Ark of The Lord to The City of David.
2 Samuel 6: 14-23
And it was so that when they that bare the ark of The LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So, David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of The LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. And as the ark of The LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before The LORD; and she despised him in her heart . Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself! And David said to Michal, It was before The LORD, which chose me before your father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of The LORD, over Israel: therefore, will I play before The LORD. And I will yet be more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight: and of the maidservants which you have spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
