Passage of the Day: 8/4/09
1 Samuel 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.”
We normally deal with people based on what we see. We judge them based on their appearance. But the character of a person is not shown by his appearance. We need to learn to filter the actions of people to know their character and it is shown through testing.
Sometimes God will use tests in our lives to show us our true character – the flaws and the things we need to improve or develop. He sees our hearts and since we can’t see our heart or other people’s hearts, God shows us through different tests we encounter in our lives.
