Spiritual Meditation 8

1 Samuel 16:7
English Standard Version
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.”

We all tend to look at the outward appearances of those we meet. We make judgments based on clothes, tattoos, cleanliness, roughness, or gentleness. These judgments are stereotypes and have no place in a Christian or Godly community.

Remember no matter what you see on the outside of others, or what they see on the outside of you, God sees the inside and knows the truth. Those who seem good to us but not to God and those who seem good to God we may condemn.

What does God see when he sees your heart? What would men see if they could see your heart?
