GOD DOESN’T SEE THING’S ACCORDING TO THE PRESENTATION OF MEN
From a deliberate perspective we realise that God doesn’t necessarily see you according to the way you present yourself to people or how you look like in perspective of physical appearance
He sees your heart… what is your heart like. What is in your heart is actually the most apparent truth about you.
It’s more than what people know about you and what people perceive of you
Is your heart full of
Hate
Rage
Gossip
Ever complaining
Grumbling
bitterness
unforgiving
How man sees is not how The Lord sees. The Lord doesn’t see thing’s according to the presentation of men whereas the presentation of men may be key to us but that’s not how the Lord sees man.
When Samuel reached the house of Jesse, jesse presented to Him the first born. So when Samuel saw him… He said… The Lord’s anointed is here. He Samuel possibly thought that He is the One whom the Lord had anointed yet he wasn’t the one that The Lord had anointed until The Lord had to tell Him that man looks at the outward appearance but I look at the heart 1 Samuel 16:6-7[6]When they had come, he looked on Eliab [the eldest son] and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.[7]But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
