Get where David got

When we read about David in the bible we might think about things like the boy that slayed a giant, or his great accomplishments in battle, or that he was responsible for bringing the ark back to Jerusalem....However, do we think about David being a man that struggled with sin just like you and me? Do we see him as a man that had to come to a place of brokenness and humble himself before The Lord and confess his sins? The word says David was a man after God's own heart.....but it does not say he was a superhero. To get where David got to in his relationship with God he had to be broken and humbled. And he had to stay that way.
I think we often think that it isn't possible to get to the place with God that David got to. Excuses like, "that was then and this is now." Well I disagree! I want to be at the place David was with God. I want to stay broken and humble before The Lord and pray that He can look down on me with favor. I want to be able to invite Him to look deep in my heart and see that I am chasing after His desires. I want to hear Him say someday that I overcame the mistakes of my past (like David) and spent the rest of my days trying to "be a David" in today's world. It is possible for all of us.....but it must be a desire before it can be a reality.
