—1 Samuel 16:1-13
by: Paula Davis.
We are reminded of an important point here. The Lord looks at a person’s heart, not their outer appearance. As Samuel went to anoint one of Jesse’s sons the new king of Israel, he never would’ve considered little David could be the one God was calling. But God saw David’s heart, not only who he was, but who he would become: a man after God’s own heart. As we look at those who God may be raising up as leaders around us we must also remember to look at the heart, and not the outward appearance, or we may miss the David who is sitting beside us.
