IDENTITY - DEVOTION 2 - SEEN
REFLECTION
Read 1 Samuel 16:7. This verse comes from the account in which God chooses the next king for his people. Samuel knows which family the king will come from, but not which son. He looks at the eldest son and immediately assumes he is the one! God has other ideas, and it’s David, the youngest son, who is chosen. It is easy for us to get caught up in the culture around us that places so much emphasis on what we look like, what we wear, the image we present. God is much more interested in who we are on the inside, in what is going on in our heart.
APPLICATION
What a relief it is that, when we talk to God, we can be completely honest and tell him what is really going on in our heart. Maybe there are things going on that you don’t want to tell others about. You can tell him. Maybe you need help with changing some things. You can ask him for his help. Why not take a few moments to do that now?
PRAYER
Father, thank you that you see beyond appearances. Thank you that you see what’s really going on, and you love when I come to you honestly and talk to you about everything that is happening in my life. Help me to take the time to do that each day. Amen
Scripture
