God Looks At The Heart

16 May 2022

for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7

Beloved:

 

Most all of us have been guilty of merely looking at someone and thinking that they were not qualified for something. Maybe we thought they were not intelligent enough, did not have the necessary experience, or for some other reason did not look the part. Conversely, we have probably looked at someone and assumed that they had what it took to get the job done; only to be disappointed when they were given the opportunity. 

 

We have probably all heard the phrase that you can’t judge a book by its cover. God is not judging us based on our physique, hairstyle, smile, or any other part of our physical appearance. God is looking at our heart. The inner core of a person that defines who they are. 

 

Like David, we should be strong with the inside stuff. Things like faith, humility, integrity, and mercy. As believers, we must get past physical appearances and get to the heart of the matter.

BE ENCOURAGED!
