In 1 Samuel 13:14 it says, "But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Yahweh hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Yahweh hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Yahweh commanded thee." In Acts 13:22 it says, "And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will." I have always wondered what was the heart of my Father. What was it that David had or did that he was a man after Elohim's own heart? I recently got an answer to that question and I would like to pass it on to you.
David always praised Yahweh and His commandments. Don't believe me just read the Psalms. It is all throughout the book. But I would like to show you something in Hebrew. The language that our Father speaks and is bringing back to His people, Acts 26:14 and Zeph. 3:9. The Hebrew word for "heart" is "leb".
לב right to left is a lamed and a bet (hebrew is read right to left). Now let's sidenote and learn a little about lamed. It is the tallest letter, it is the 12th letter and it is considered the central (heart) of the Hebrew alphabet. The pictograph for lamed is a shepherd's staff, or goad meaning to prick, sting, incite, or goad as a shepherd might prod cattle to perform some action, representing authority. Lamed comes from the root word lamad meaning to learn or teach which occurs in Deut. 4:1, "Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Yahweh Elohim of your fathers giveth you." Now let's look at Bet. It's pictograph is that of a house or a tent. A place to dwell. He teaches us His Torah, guides us and we abide in Him. A beautiful picture.
Now back to the heart. The Torah consists of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The First word in Genesis 1:1 is In the beginning and the hebrew word is:
בראשׁיתThe first letter starting from the right is a bet. Now the last word of the Torah is in Deut. 34:12 and it the word Israel.
ישׂראל
see last letter of the word is a lamed. So if you take the last letter of Torah and the first letter of Torah and put them together you have לב which means heart. So we can now see that Torah is the Heart of our Elohim. I hope this blessed you as much as it blessed me!
