Sep 11, 2023 · David’s words and actions reveal characteristics of the kind of worship that pleases God. 1. David Was a Broken Worshipper. “…you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise” ( Psalm 51:16-17 ).
According to Paul, the people rejected God in seven ways: They refused to glorify Him or thank Him; followed worldly wisdom, foolish desires, and lustful passions; worshiped created things instead of the one true God; and reversed God’s created order by pursuing unnatural desires (verses 21-27).
- Looks can be deceiving! When Samuel was sent to anoint a new king, he first saw Eliab, Jesse’s firstborn, and thought he was the one. Speaking of Eliab, God reminded Samuel to “look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him…” (1 Samuel 16:17).
- Be Faithful in the Small Things! In 1 Samuel 16:11, we learn that David was “out tending the sheep” when Samuel came to anoint a new king. Tending the sheep, the everyday, mundane, no fame, no glory, menial task, called to greatness, yet being faithful in the small things!

- Maintain a strong work ethic and dependability. David, in 1 Samuel 17:20-23, was sent by his father to check on his brothers. The Word tells us that David didn’t leave a mess!
- Worship that is absolute with No reservations. Here is to the king of Isreal, a man of power and status, a prominent man, yet he consumes the things of God without holding backing.
- Worship that is rooted in the Holy Spirit. It’s less of the talent to sing beautiful worship songs but more if you are capable of connecting with God through your renditions.
- Worship without contempt. King David was not just a mighty warrior, but he exercised kingdom authority. A raging Saul learns that God was about to appoint David as the new king and became malevolent.
- Worship that is remorseful. Even though the biblical records tell us that David worshipped God twice, we can savor the sincerity and remorse of David singing and playing those musical instruments.
