David, the Young Musician

David was in love with God as a boy. He would frequently sing and pray as he was out in the fields with his father’s flocks. He loved God and explored his beauty. He saw God in the sun, the fields, the hills, the skies, the stars, the sheep… He allowed his heart to be romanced by the Lord. He saw God’s creation as a love song. He perceived God as a lover. He became a student of God’s emotions truly desiring to know how God felt about the world of men. He wanted to know God, and be with God.

Psalm 19. Romance. It’s you again oh God. Do you never tire? The beauty of your creation and its ever continual cycle is like you and your never ending pursuit. Every day you paint the sky with color and fill the earth with warmth and light all in the attempt to woo my heart. It’s your love song to me (v.19:4 uses the word "line" in the original text, which is a lot like a guitar string - it's music)!
