An Inside View
Oct 20, 2015
The Lord looks at the heart.
1 Samuel 16:7
Retired physicist Arie vant Riet creates works of art in an unusual way. He arranges plants and deceased animals in various compositions and then x-rays them. He scans the developed x-rays into a computer and then adds color to certain parts of his pictures. His artwork reveals the inner complexity of flowers, fish, birds, reptiles, and monkeys.
An inside view of something is often more fascinating and more significant than an exterior view. At first glance, Samuel thought Eliab looked like he could be Israels next king (1 Sam. 16:6). But God warned Samuel not to look at Eliabs physical traits. He told Samuel, People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart (v. 7). God chose David, instead of Eliab, to be Israels next king.
When God looks at us, He is more interested in our hearts than our height, the state of our soul than the structure of our face. He doesnt see us as too old, too young, too small, or too big. He zeroes in on the things that matterour response to His love for us and our concern for other people (Matt. 22:37-39). Second Chronicles 6:30 says that God alone knows the human heart. When the God who has done so much for us looks at our heart, what does He see?
Dear God, help me to value what You value. As I follow Your example, I pray that You will be pleased with what You see in my heart.
The true measure of a person is whats in the heart.
David is often used as an example of the best and the worst of human behavior. Even though his sins are recorded in the pages of Scripture, the final verdict on his life is that he was a man after Gods own heart (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). What we often miss is the reason that he is given this high acclaim. Davids nearness to the heart of God is reflected most by his repentance after he sinned. Acknowledging that Gods way is right (exemplified in the act of repentance) is the clearest demonstration of love for Him. J.R. Hudberg

The Coasties were the first folks to move into what was supposed to be the new DHS HQ, but nobody else wants to move in there. It is on the east side of the Anacostia River in the worst part of the District. Cool looking building, but a lousy neighborhood.
