GOD’S PERSPECTIVE

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” - 1 Samuel 16:7

          God had rejected Saul as Israel’s king and sent the prophet Samuel to hand pick Saul’s successor. God sent Samuel to Jesse of Bethlehem to find him. Once there Samuel had Jesse send for all his sons. The prophet inspected each one and although they all appeared to be a good choice in Samuel’s eyes, God rejected each one. Samuel seemed perplexed, yet God sees the character and motivation of one’s heart and had picked the young son who was tending to the sheep as the anointed one. Therefore David was summoned and anointed to be the next king of Israel once Saul was removed.  
          A flaw humans have is that we look at the outward package and never delve into what is inside. We deem people unworthy to associate with because of what we perceive rather than what we know for a fact. God looks upon the heart of a man and deems him worthy of His grace. Go and do likewise. Until next time…walk with the King and be a blessing!
