Bible Verse of The Day – 6-5-17

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

God looks at our heart. This can be a life-changing revelation for so many people.

We tend to look at ourselves and others and judge by what we see. It’s a natural thing to do, since we can’t see the heart of a person unless we spend time with them and get to know them.

God chose David to be king over His people. Why? Because He knew David’s heart was set on pleasing Him. The Word says that David was a man after God’s own heart!

He could have chosen someone greater in stature. But stature doesn’t matter to God. Stature is just a physical attribute. It doesn’t make us who we are. Our heart and what’s in it makes us who we are.

What’s in our heart? When God looks at us, what does He see?

Does He see a heart that longs after Him? Or does He see a heart that is divided in its loyalties?

Only we can determine what our heart contains. Only we can decide where our loyalties lie.

Let us determine in our hearts to seek after God with everything in us. Then we will know without a doubt what God sees when He looks at our heart.
