Day 6: My Biblical Hero

The Prompt: You get to meet your hero from the Bible.  What happens?

     As I mentioned in the past, David is one of my favorite Bible characters.  He was one of the few men the Bible refers to as having the heart of God.  Plus he wrote the Psalms, one of my favorite books from the Bible.  It would be amazing if I could even see what he looked like.  Since he is likened to Jesus, I wonder if they shared some physical similarities.  I suppose one of the first things I'd want to do is listen to him play one of his psalms or asked what inspired him to write a few of my favorites.  Maybe I could even watch him compose one.  Once you think about it, it's like meeting a modern Christian music singer.

     David was not just a singer; he was a beloved king.  Who doesn't want to meet a king?  :)  I'd want him to give me a tour around his palace, meet some of his advisers and family, and get a chance to see him working at some of his responsibilities as king.  Getting a tour of the city would be fun too, especially if it was in a royal procession.

     I'd also enjoy the opportunity to interview David.  I'd like to hear some of the Biblical accounts from his point of view.  How did he feel when Samuel anointed him as king while Saul still ruled?  What was going through his head when he summed up the courage to defeat Goliath?  I'd probably ask some other questions about when he was running from Saul, about his reign as king, and about his relationships with sons.

     I'd certainly have an eventful day with David!
