Whether we realize it or not were followers, were going to follow something, question is, is what were following leading us to the good God's promised picture of the good life or the world's view of the good life?
Are we being led to a life of contentment, courage, and confidence in which we find peace, prosperity, and hope or are we being led to destruction, conflict, chaos, and separation from God? You see what you choose to follow in this life matters. It matters because it's taking you to where you will finish, where you will end up.
Choosing to follow God and letting Him lead you in life is never a bad thing. David discovered this and said, "the lord, he is my shepherd."

From Series: "The Psalm Writer"
We know more about David’s thoughts, words, fears, strengths and weaknesses than almost anyone else who has ever lived.
And, think about this: what we know about David we have actually learned from God Himself, from God’s perspective. David was God’s
man – David’s heart was after God, and for God. He was a servant of the Lord for life.
David is the most described man in the Bible for a reason. He was a shepherd, warrior, musician, king, prophet and a writer of psalms. From long hours spent in the wilderness watching sheep and long nights guarding them under the stars as a young shepherd, David was inspired (after the Spirit came upon him in I Samuel 16:13), to write the Spirit- prompted lessons of his life we now have in the book of Psalms.
Psalms 20 through 29, written by David, contain powerful words that reflect his profound faith and how that faith played out in his life when he trusted God. God has made David our prime Old Testament example of how we can live – like David did -- as a true servant of God.
