TODAY’S WORD…

.

The Lord said to Samuel,

“God does not see as man sees;

man looks at appearances

but the Lord looks at the heart.”

.

– 1 Samuel 16:7 (TJB)

REFLECTION…

.

Lifestyle, lifestyle, lifestyle!

Keeping up appearances

is, unfortunately, what life is very much about

for many these days.

.

We can tell how men and women look…on the outside.

People-watching has become a popular pastime

especially for those who like to gossip.

God, on the other hand, knows what people are like…inside.

He judges us by what’s in our heart.

.

We so often end up forming a mistaken judgment of character.

The Lord, on the other hand, values only the faith, reverence, and love,

which are to be found in a person’s heart,

and which are beyond the discernment of humans.

.

With God, it is our internal lifestyle that matters.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord Jesus, help me always be at my best – internally…for You.
