1 Samuel 16:7- “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
One of our favorite summertime treats is nice, juicy watermelon.
Imagine our disappointment when we cut one open, finding the meat to be light pink, the texture smooth, and totally lacking flavor.
The problem with watermelons is that you don’t know if they are good on the inside by just looking at the outside.
This is just the opposite of how scripture says that God views us.
He isn’t swayed by outward beauty (as humans often are). He sees our hearts—our intentions, our motives.
We see this in the story of David (above) being chosen as king by God, even though he was small in stature.
If you have a big heart for God, He’ll see it. You need only to be available and He will use you in great and mighty ways!
