Devotion:
Read 1 Samuel 16:1-7.
When God sent Samuel to look for a new king, a new leader for God’s people, God wanted him to focus on what was on the inside of that person. God doesn’t see or judge the same way that people do. We tend to look at the outside appearances or qualifications, but God looks at the heart. He evaluates our inner disposition and character. When people judge by outward appearances, they may overlook quality individuals who lack the particular qualities society currently admires. Appearance doesn’t reveal what people are really like or what their true value is. We invest a great deal of time and finances in improving our outward appearance and improving our resume. It is imperative to cultivate our character and relationship with God.
Personal Worship Option:
Next time you must select a leader, ask questions that reveal character - not resume. Each day spend time investing in character development.
