Day 21 of the Bible in 90 Days
Scripture: 1Samuel 16:7
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.”
Observation: It is easy to get caught up in how people look and make character judgments based on that.
But the Lord looks well beyond that into our hearts, where he can see the truth.
Application: What is my heart like? And how are my children’s hearts growing? Is there beauty and strength and a spirit to follow the Lord no matter what in there always or sometimes?
Prayer: Lord, you show us repeatedly through the Bible how critical it is to love and serve you with all our heart and all our soul. Please guide me in keeping my heart, and the hearts of my children, in good order. Keep us from focusing too much on external factors that don’t matter to you and instead focus on serving you and loving as you would have us love.
