David was under God's command, he did what the Lord asked him to do, willingly unseen and obscure-always wanting the Lord to get all the glory. A simpler way to say that is-David was God's servant all his days. Here are four ways in which David served God with his life:

1. David wanted to honor God with his life. God wants us as His servants to give our lives back to Him-He had Divine perspective. He was God fearing. So immediately David thought of one thing-what can I do for the Lord! 

2. David's life was an example of godliness to others. God uses the actions of servants for His Glory! 

Others watch our life. David's actions provided a powerful testimony to those who saw him-and they were willing to tell what they saw. What kind of advertisement have we been this week for God? A good one or a bad one? 

3. David's life displayed true humility. God uses humble servants for His Glory! 

David never sought the spotlight. David resisted the pride that often tempts us after great accomplishments. David had a job to do and he humbly did it.  He was consistent, faithful, dependable, and as a humble servant--genuinely unaware of himself. A test of humility is whether or not one is unconcerned who gets the credit.    

4. David wanted to honor God with his habits. God is either honored or dishonored by the habits of His servants. 

Be careful what habits you allow to grow up and take hold in your life! Every action and habit we allow has an either positive or negative consequence in our lives. Beware of bad habits and sinful actions.
