1 Samuel 16:7 (NASB) "But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”"Maybe this is where the slogan "don't judge a book by it's cover" started! I have seen it many times as  a young boy, captains picked players for their team, on the job site as foreman picked men to accomplish a difficult task, boys and men were judged by their outward appearances! Today's verse speaks to us about how God doesn't look at what we look like but rather on what's in our heart! Many times in life, we will sadly judge based upon outward appearances but we may be missing the most important part of those we have chosen to be around. Where is their heart, and for that matter where is our heart?! Judging someone based upon their "look" is not what God does, and thank Him for that! God looks to the heart of a man, and we should too. The question is, what's in our heart? Is it His Word, His Spirit or is our heart filled with ourselves? Let's chose Him and LIVE Him today! peace, tom
