I Samuel 16:17b– “… The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
I nearly passed up a friend at the grocery store this week. Her mask kept me from recognizing her—until I heard her voice.
Covid-19. Social distancing and…masks.
It’s become a way of life in our world this year.
A son comes home from war, left to live with the horrors he has seen. Parents hardly recognize the young man he’s become.
A familiar scenario for far too many.
God tells us in I Samuel that God knows us. He knows our hearts.
Whether you are a lost sheep in need of a Shepherd or a believer in need of your Father’s encouragement, have faith and trust in the Lord.
He knows us. He sees beneath that “happy mask” we often wear for family and friends.
He knows our needs. He’s here for us. He sees our hearts.
