Of all the Old Testament heroes I would someday like to meet, none has any more fascination for me than does David, the shepherd-boy who became king. Though he was a warrior, this man had heart and compassion.  Of all the thousands of individuals who are mentioned in Scripture, David stands alone with the distinction that he was a man after God’s own heart (see Acts 13:22).  He was a great man, and yet—and here we turn the corner—David had his dark moments.
