1 Samuel 16:1-7
People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
When Samuel saw the tall, handsome Eliab, he thought, "surely the Lord 's anointed stands here before the Lord ". However, God's strategy to select a king was much different than Samuel's. In fact, God said no to each of Jesse's sons, except the youngest one. Selecting David as king was definitely not a strategic move from God's part, or so it seemed at first. What would a young shepherd have to offer his community, let alone his country?
It's comforting to know that the Lord knows our hearts and has His plans for us.
