Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. Yahweh said, Take a heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Yahweh.
"What does it mean to be a person after God’s own heart? Seems to me, it means that you are a person whose life is in harmony with the Lord. What is important to Him is important to you. What burdens Him burdens you. When He says, ’Go to the right,’ you go to the right. When He says, ’Stop that in your life,’ you stop it. When He says, ’This is wrong and I want you to change,’ you come to terms with it because you have a heart for God." [Note: Swindoll, p. 6.]
