1 Samuel 16:4-13
4. Samuel did what the LORD said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, "Do you come in peace?"
5. Samuel replied, "Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
6. When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD."
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 man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
8. Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."
9. Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, "Nor has the LORD chosen this one."
10. Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, "The LORD has not chosen these."
11. So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered, "but he is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives."
12. So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him; he is the one."
Thanks Elsie, it's nice to know that we're not without precedence in our time. What our DNA fails to provide us (in terms of survival) may be found in ancient wisdom written in tomes. Someday, it may wind-up on a CD ;^)
Looking good on camera (Romney) and having a relaxed, comfortable, folksy, delivery during the debates (Huckabee) now seem much less revealing in comparison to the messages they deliver. No amount of make-up caked on a cackling socialist makes her any less socialist. Kudos to her team though; much as I despise Hillary she looks good on camera.
I love my eyes, but they decieve me at times. My ears hear all and one would think that this is all that's necessary to formulate an opinion, but then the eyes get involved. Perhaps in this day and age of massive information, we should restrict voting to only the blind. Given all the obfuscation and media manipulation of polls, I'd pay to see the results of a poll taken among the blind.
