"Man looks at the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7b NIV
How many “makeover” shows are on TV now? You can watch home makeovers, beauty makeovers, wardrobe, makeovers, personality makeovers, and much more. Seems like these people are not satisfied with what they have; they think something better must be waiting for them.
Samuel was on a mission: he was looking for the next king of Israel. And he thought he had found him when he met Jesse’s oldest son, Eliab. “No,” the Lord said. Samuel must have thought, “Lord, look again. This guy has it all!”
But God was right. Eliab was filled with jealousy (see 1 Samuel 17:28) and David was the man after God’s own heart that would become king (see 1 Samuel 13:14).
Is your heart seeking God’s? Ask God to help you seek him with all your heart and to find him.
