PLACE OF PRAYER

I’ve already run for dear life straight to the arms of GOD.
PSALM 11:1, THE MESSAGE

David’s life is the most exuberant life story in all the scriptures, maybe the most exuberant in all world history. It is also the most extensively narrated story in our Bible. We know more about David than any other person in the biblical communities of faith. . . .

The person in scripture who has the most extensively told story is the same person who is shown to be most at prayer. . . . He was a shepherd, guerrilla fighter, court musician, and politician. His entire life was lived in a sacred ordinary that we are apt, mistakenly, to call the secular. The regular place of prayer is the ordinary life.
