Practicing Honor, Day by Day 79 "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 people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV) Today, look at yourself as God looks at you. Are you consumed with being beautiful, wealthy, popular, strong, perfect and good enough? Are you ever straining, trying to fit in with the “in” crowd? Do you gravitate toward those who have money, those who have status, those who have position or are you content just being who God made you to be? David was a lowly shepherd boy. By man’s standards, he was not the suitable choice for king of a great nation. His father brought forth every other son first…the oldest, the strongest, the most handsome, the most experienced. Samuel waited until the last son was presented. He was looking for a man who would follow after God, one who did not fit the mold of the world. God is looking for pure hearts and willing spirits. When He sees you does He see one who is willing to follow Him, at any cost? Heavenly Father, thank You are seeing me as I am. Thank You for choosing me and not overlooking me. Thank You for using me, even when I am not perfect and even when my circumstances are not perfect. You for use the foolish to confound the wise. You know my heart and You will use me, simply because I am willing to be used. Here am I, send me.
