A Thought for Thursday: It's not inside it's on top?

At small group last night, I was reminded again that God's thoughts are not the same as mine. We were reading about God choosing David as king. David's family and even the man who was going to anoint him would have picked someone else. Maybe even David himself would have chosen someone else.

But God said:

"The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” ~ 1 Samuel 16:7

You can read the story here.

I was challenged again by how I evaluate people. Today's thought passes this challenge on to you. How do you judge people? How do you decide who people are?

Ask God to show you which people you have seen from the outside. Ask Him to show you their heart - the way that He sees them.
