When it comes to heroes and heroines from the Bible, King David is one of my all-time favourites. Why? Well, I find him one of the easiest characters to relate to. The book of Samuel introduces him as Israel’s mightiest king, whose legacy still lives on today. But the real man, the one behind all the victories and the triumphs, is found in his psalms. Here we see someone who is highly emotional, completely honest and utterly vulnerable. David rants and raves, praises, pleads, begs, worships and weeps. He is restless, anxious and terrified. And in his God he finds rest, contentment and peace.
