1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not
consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does
not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but
the Lord looks at the heart.”
Have you ever wondered how many potentially good friends you
may have lost simply by judging them on your first impression of them? I'm
amazed at how the first impression very seldom tells us much of substance about
another person. We're not really going to be able to evaluate people properly
until the Lord reveals at judgment what is really in their hearts. Don't you
think that we should give them time to reveal what is in their hearts before we
make a decision about them?! Let's don't just look on the outward appearance!
Thought for today:
Do my judgments prevent me from enjoying life?
