1 Sam 16:7 (NIV)
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 man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Why is it that we always seem to judge by outward appearances? I know that I have been guilty of this several times, thinking how is God going to work through that person? They are so.......and what ever the outward thing is that I have so narrowly decided to judge them on.
God continues to surprise me each day and causes me to reflect on my own life and what He has done, and trust me no one ever thought I would be doing what I do now including me.
I am so glad that God sees the heart and uses the small guy for a big thing like He did with David.
In a world that focuses on the outward appearance so much it is sometimes hard to see that God is still looking inside and no matter what we do to change the outer appearance it is still only the heart that matters to God.
I Believe that God has a great plan for each one of us and can use anyone at any time for His good work. we only need to see through His eyes, and get a God perspective.
So stop looking in the mirror asking what can God going to do with this? And look inside and allow God to show you what He will do with a willing heart!
