Appearances by Monica Digman

1 Samuel 16:7

7But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance but the LORD looks on the heart."

This scripture was talking about when David was anointed as King. God is telling Samuel not to choose one of Jesse's older sons. Jesse was to bring all of his sons before Samuel. All were present but David, the youngest, who was tending the sheep. When David arrived he was covered in ruddy dirt, but was the one chosen to become king.

This scripture reminds us all to remember that we are different. You must keep your mind open to find what you are searching for; whether it be a helping hand, someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on.

"Don't judge a book by its cover."
