Good morning everyone!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED1111
As a young man or woman, or even older man or woman, being human we have a tendency to look at the outward appearance of mankind. Wow!! He or she is really good looking. However, lurking inside may be the worst horror story you could imagine.
God sees the wonderful story inside as well as the horror story inside. Satan tries to turn the wonderful story into a horror story, whereas God can take the horror story and make it a wonderful story.
1 Samuel 16: 7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
God rejected Saul because of his disobedience and sent Samuel, the prophet, to Jesse's house. So what is the first thing Samuel thinks? Here is the oldest son, Eliab, and Jesse,, because of Eliab''s outward appearance, really thinks this will be Saul's replacement. But no.
We all tend to be as Samuel was at first and look at the body, the fitness, thinness, hair, tan, athletic gifted and just physically attractive. We often tend to be this shallow person and fail to see the real good traits of an individual.
So what does God want? God wants people, men, women, boys, girls, whose hearts are turned to and cherish the living God.
Where are you today? Is the attractiveness of the world holding you captive, OR, are you trusting God in all things?
Thank you for reading with me today. Today, may you see people as God sees them. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
